Figured I would make another topic. Feel free to chime in
Tealeaf said:To me it's being disconnected from people and not about physical presence. When I was depressed I didn't even feel close to my family, or know how to talk to them. We had very short, stunted conversations where I didn't know what to say to anyone, and I always felt bad about it later because that wasn't how I used to be. I used to love holidays growing up and then they just became awkward formalities where I feared maybe I wasn't wanted to begin with because of how I was.

Cucuboth said:I guess loneliness is different for everyone. For me though, it's the lack of connection with anyone. The lack of conversation. The lack of anyone to share anything with. The lack of having someone to be with, with who you feel wanted, even safe. It's about not being ridiculed about everything about you. It's about having somewhere to feel that I fit in. It's about being listened to, and having someone to listen to. It's about not having to fight every battle on your own. It's the lack of contact, physical, and emotional, and intellectual, and affectionate, and romantic/sexual. It's about traveling down the paths of life, and having someone to share it with, maybe not all the way, and maybe not the same person all the time, but not to have to feel that you have to walk alone all the time. It's about feeling like someone actually cares ... it's about having the chance to feel human, to me. Being actually allowed, for the first time in my life, to feel human.
