The worst kind of loneliness is when your surrounded by people and yet cant talk or share what's really on our minds and feelings
-
People don't care when you're alone they care when they are alone
-
I don't remember where I've heard this, but it's true: "the worst thing about loneliness is that you get used to it".
-
Its sad the fact that the only people who can truly relate to you aren't your family, friends, but people on the internet going through the same struggles you are going through
-
"Getting out and meeting people" means being lonely in crowded places.
-
died at 18 buried at 65.
-
The worst type of loneliness is having "friends" but at the end of the day feeling like they wouldn't notice if you were gone. Like you don't really matter
-
The type of loneliness that hurts me the most is when you finally open up to someone you care about and thought you could trust, and then they betray you. Because what is the point of sharing in order to not feel lonely, if it makes you end up in an even worst place?
-
I can’t be the only one that spends my day job being incredibly nice to everyone, putting on a massive happiness front, then goes home every night to nothing and nobody? Netflix is my best friend these days 💀
-
the pain in her voice...
-
Her eyes speak how painful it is to be lonely. A huge respect for her.
-
She's talking with tears in her eyes and trembling hands, yet give such a great message to the world. Mad respect to her.
-
This woman sounds like she is about to burst out crying any second.
-
Her solution to loneliness is to call a friend as she says in the end of her video. Some of us aren't even fortunate enough to have even that luxury.
-
"There's nothing cool or brave or great about going through life alone."
-
“You all have that friend...” actually no we don’t all have that friend.
-
She looks nervous but I admire her courage to stand up in front of that large crown and speaking.
-
Watches video to feel better "You're going to get dementia and heart disease" nice
-
but the bad part of loneliness is when i try to talk with strangers and they think i'm freak or intrusive😐
-
It is almost a crime to be lonely. Everyone pretends to be cool and have friends, because otherwise people will think that there are something wrong with you. There are way more lonely people than we can imagine.
