2 experiences come to mind that describe loneliness (to me).
1) in my 1st relationship, i was in college, but i would go home on the weekends because i was a sunday school teacher at my home church. my 1st boyfriend would stay on campus, and of course, he would hang out with others, which is totally normal and expected lol. but he would often hang out with one of our female friends a lot. the thought made me uncomfortable but i didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
the one weekday, the 3 of us plus her sister went to starbucks. while we were there, the 1st bf and she would have all the stories about the weekend and conversations they had, and eventually, it was just the 2 of them talking because i had nothing to communicate since i wasn't there. i felt completely alone because i didn't have anything to contribute, and yet they had a ball talking back and forth.
2. i was single, and i read an interesting article online. i was very excited about it. i grabbed my phone and wanted to share this article with someone, but then i realized no one would find it as interesting as i did. heck, probably no one would even care. i felt very alone because i felt like i didn't have a connection with another person.
