Here are the symptons
Believing that "everyone else" has friends
Feeling embarrassed and self-conscious
Being in a crowd but not feeling part of the crowd
Feeling shy and scared of others
Experiencing low self-esteem
Feeling angry, defensive and critical
Feeling socially inadequate and socially unskilled
Being convinced there is something wrong with you
Feeling disconnected and alienated from your surroundings
Feeling anxious and sad because you believe that no one knows how miserable and isolated you feel
Losing your capacity to be assertive; feeling "invisible"
Feeling reluctant to attempt to change, or try new things
Feeling "empty", depressed, or even contemplating suicide
I pretty much have these all and have put my feelings down to just deppression in the past, the feelings are irrational but i get them when not with people almost all the time. It makes me self harm, because its like this emptyness feeling and guilt for myself? According to Wikipedia this is a very misunderstood and dangerous mental disorder if a disorder. Im just wondering how many people here are having this rather than Just Deppression.
I can see why people misunderstand loneliness. Because u assume a person with no friends only experinace loneliness. Thats not the case in this condition, i have loads of friends but when not with them i feel empty and worthless and ask myself 'Is Life worth living' but when with friends i feel alive, Shy and anxious obcourse but alive, i would anyday pick anxiety over emptyness because with anxiety u feel alive rather than nothing with emptyness.
I thought i would ust inform and hopefully help some of u who might be experiancing this. P.s it is treated farely similier to deppression with medication and therapy etc.
