I am surrounded by people all day and still feel completely unseen

0 support0 reactions2 replies
Coworkers, group chats, family dinners, a partner even. By every external measure I am not alone. And yet there is this ache of being known only on the surface, like everyone has a sketch of me but no one has the full picture. Loneliness inside connection is harder to explain than loneliness in an empty room.

I went through something painfully similar last year. It does get lighter, not all at once, but in small unglamorous steps. Hang on to the tiny good moments.

I needed to read this more than you know. Bookmarking it for my own hard nights. Thank you for trusting this space with something so real.
