A reminder that it’s totally possible to feel completely alone, even if you have a great social net, friends and supportive family. Addressing those feelings is vital to maintaining good mental health.

Thanks for sharing this - it is so true - our sense of belonging- oddly enough - is an internal issue. Our sense of our own value and worthiness directly impacts our ability to feel connected - to feel that people really ‘see’ us / get us. And that in turn impacts our sense of loneliness. From my experience, my ability to feel seen, valued and worthy is rooted in how much I really see and value myself. If I don’t, I don’t think others do either.
