I barely make it through feeling lonely. Coping isn't what I do...I resign myself to the knowledge that I am alone, and that I always will be. There are many reasons why that must be - almost all are medical and psychological.

Nobody could ever convince me that they find feeling lonely survivable...it's barely tolerable, to me.

I understand that. You can be surrounded by people and feel alone. But you are right when you say 'medical or psychological'. I now see what my mum went through with loneliness. I didn't see it at the time. But truly understand it now. I can go a whole day without seeing anyone as don't step foot out the door. If have shopping to do is mostly quick 'hello' and that is it.
Feeling lonely is like a deafening silence as well as visual.
