Hello

Hi everyone,

I am a new poster here. My partner and best friend are both out of town so I have turned to the internet to not feel so alone. I feel lonely a lot, even when I am around people. I also often feel like I am really sensitive to other people's emotions, change in my environment, and I am affected by tension/negativity greatly, for example, there is often a lot of confrontation at my work place that leaves me feeling awful (like today!). I am posting here hoping that someone experiences this as well.

I am not sure what else to add, other than hello!

Hi Saffri,

Hello! Welcome to the forum. It's a lovely supportive space and I am sure you will find many people who can relate to you here. When I first joined I was feeling lonely also, and often do. The BB Cafe social thread can be really good for that. There are often people on and there are various light hearted topics.

I also find at times that I feel lonely even around other people... as if I am in some way different.. like I just can't fit in.. or like I am not being "seen" or understood. Yes I feel like I am extra sensitive to peoples emotions as well. I feel like I can very much relate to your post (however I don't have a partner).

Any welcome! Feel free to tell us a little more about yourself if you feel comfortable. Have a look around, join in on any conversations you like. I am sure you will find you are not alone in your thoughts and feelings.

Nice to hear form you

Warm wishes

Sistermoon

I feel loney around social setting all the time and thats okay. You just have to remember that most people are busy focusing on what they are doing to watch/notice us.

Heads up 🙂

I think when we feel alone we also become sensative and vulnerable to peoples criticism. Just think about your good abilities and focus on your strengths.
