When You're Feeling Lonely
Loneliness can happen at many points in life, especially during transitions, changes in relationships, or moments when you feel disconnected from others. It can show up even when you’re surrounded by people. You might feel disconnected, unseen, or like no one really understands what you’re going through. That feeling can be heavy, quiet, and hard to explain. It doesn’t always mean you’re truly alone, but it can still feel heavy and isolating.
