Discussion Why do some people have community while others are virtually alone?

[dying_kwik2000]

Is there a reason why some people are ignored while other people are noticed and appreciated by the people in their lives?

I'm trying to understand why I've basically had no friends most of my life and felt invisible, alone or like a burden.

Am I not opening up enough? But why do I feel ignored when I open up?

I always feel like I act like a therapist to other people while people don't really know much about me.

I'm trying so hard not to cry because of this. Tears are coming from my right eye. 👁

I don't know why it hurts so much. I remember when I was like eight or nine there was this Barbie Diaries computer game I loved and there was this challenge when you had to make a concert. I would always make the light green and play a song they had called 'Invisible' because I felt like I related to it so deeply.

i wonder the same thing. i try to open up as much as i can, but then i feel like i'm too much. people are interested, then lose interest. do you have social anxiety?

I know for a fact that I already felt lonely as a kid/teenager and know pretty well why I feel this way. Maybe if you look back in your biography you can also find some reasons/events when it started? Does not have to stretch that far back, but it helps to maybe reflect when the feeling started.

Doesn't help in this current moment, because I also try to open up and talk to people, get in contact but it seems I can't catch a break.

I guess we can only try to stay open, talk to people and just hope that some suitable human being will stroll along.
