Being alone in a crowd is one of the worst feelings. I am not surprised that this was chosen as the term of 2024. These days, almost everyone acts like they love and care for others, but in reality, they may secretly dislike or even avoid them. This contradiction makes people feel as though they have friends, yet at the same time, believe those friends secretly hate them. As a result, they experience loneliness no matter where they go.
Sometimes, they feel like nobody truly loves them or that they have never been loved. This deeply affects their mental health and even their family life. They may withdraw from their parents, refusing to communicate. Since they have no one to talk to, they bottle up their emotions, which only makes them feel even lonelier.
