    Oh now this I can relate to. I think being lonely and surrounded by people feels even worse than being by yourself and feeling lonely not that I'm saying the other one is ok

    What the hell is it all about?! Like, I dont like being alone, so I make plans. When I meet the friends, I'm anxious for a wee while, then great for a while, then I zone out. Then I wanna be myself again, but I don't really?

    I don't know my mind just does whatever it wants it's outrageous. I think it's often for me when something else is occupying my mind but I can happen at any point.

    True with the something else occupying. I do have times where I can stay happy the whole time. Think it's probably just the most anxious in general times?

    Anxiety is awful, I don't know about you but it can paralyse me and when that happens I always feel alone wherever I am.

    From my experience being lonely gets solved when you connect and have genuine moments with people (of any kind),- not when doing fun things with friends.

    I've experienced that many times, surrounded by friends and family and yet feel incredibly lonely. I feel like it's way better for me when I can connect with a person who's got the same interests and goals as I do.
