We are in a crowded room of “friends” or “loved ones” but feel more lonely that if the room was empty. For we are afraid to discuss how we really feel about ourselves or an issue because there are so many people around who are listening but are not really hearing. They are in a party atmosphere and you have already left… mentally that is. You don’t want to be a party pooper so you continue the act until the loneliness explodes into one too many cocktails or some extreme remark just so they can hear you. Alone in a crowd sometimes the loneliest moments appear when others are around.
FOOTNOTE- When such feelings occur maybe it’s best to excuse yourself and find the entertainment one enjoys by themselves which could include reading, writing or listening to music.
