“We are all alone in this world; even in a crowd.”
Kenneth G. Eade, HOA Wire

Probably, people think loneness is about being alone or having no one in the surrounding. But how a person could be alone in a crowd- yes he is — When he does not has someone to understand him. Perhaps, your thoughts, taste, interests are distinct from others. You feel completely alone. That’s what I want to highlight in this article, how I have been experiencing this in my life. You can relate this with your life as well.

“Loneliness has less to do with how many people are around you, and more to do with your headspace.”
— Jenny Taitz, Psy.D

Despite having a crowd of people, I feel sometimes really isolated. Mountains of thought are just mounted on their place but they want to move on. The fear is that thoughts may be ridiculous for others or things of no value. It’s rare for humans to get someone who understands their feelings precisely. Hence the reason for being mocked by others, makes you alone in the crowd.

“Loneliness is the ultimate poverty.”
Pauline Phillips

According to my perception, uniqueness is not a quilt as It is criticized by others. Society just tries to implement its powers on an individual. Moreover, society selects some standards according to which a person has to pass on. In addition to this, People with distinct patterns of life are highly humiliated by them.

“I hate when I can’t control my loneliness”
Leju Thomas

That humiliation of an individual by the public leads to the destruction of his mental health. Some of the reasons for being alone are the following

· Mental Disorders

· Privacy Insecurities

· Self-centered personality

· Cultural Norms

· Wrong manipulation of life

· Less Social

· Inability to start a new relationship

· Lack of Confidence

The Above bullet points highlight important reasons behind individual isolation in the crowd.

SOLUTION:

If you are facing this problem it might be because of your unbalanced personality. Some kind of incident in childhood or your previous experience in life could be a reason for that. I have also faced this problem, and I put myself in the right direction by counseling myself, understanding the world and most importantly I accepting myself whatever I’m, I am just amazing. Just accept yourself and do not expect anything from anyone, work on your personality and keep improving it.

In this regard, you can contact specialists such as counselors, psychologists, and therapists according to your case.

I hope my article is helpful for you, leave your views in the comments ;)
