I could be in a room full of people and feel like no one there really wants to talk to me, like my being there makes no difference whatsoever. Or I could be eating dinner with my parents, with them not saying a word or just staring at their cell phones (And I thought it was people MY age who were stereotypically always on their phones). Even when I'm hanging out with my friends, I often feel a sort of disconnect with them. I am only friends with them because we happen to go to the same school and live in the same dorm building. If I had gone to another school these people would be complete strangers to me and neither of us would be any different because of that. Though I am not alone in the literal sense, these are the times when I feel the most lonely.
Conversely, I could be completely alone in my house or dorm room, with nothing but the internet to keep me company. Communicating with people behind a computer screen that I have never met in real life. I often connect with these people in a way that I never have with anyone in real life. I am technically alone in these times, but I am not lonely.
I don't know if I expect anyone to actually respond to this post...Just venting my thoughts a bit.
