Feelings of isolation isn’t just you feeling physically isolated. You can have people around you and still feel emotionally isolated.

What is Causing You to Feel Isolated?

But however, or why you're feeling isolated, it's important to understand why. Think about what is causing feelings of isolation. Is something happening around you that is making you feel cut off? Are others making you feel less inclusive?

Isolation Starts from How We feel Inside

Many of our feelings start from how we feel inside. Isolation isn’t just something that happens to us – it often stems from deep-seated experiences. The way we are raised plays a crucial role in shaping how we see ourselves, both personally and in our relationships.

Conclusion

It is important to bring and spend time with those who bring out the best in you, those who are happy to support and be around you. A lot of how we feel is what others expose us to."

  1. I have felt isolated for most of my life since we were thrown to the wolves as children and the only way to survive was to learn how to be invisible while spending most of our time alone.

    We were brainwashed into depending on our parents who weren't very dependable. We were expected to behave like secret agents and not share anything with anyone which made it even more difficult.

    It made it near to impossible to live any kind of normal life, which I am only now learning how to do. I want to make the best and enjoy my life.

    1. Yes, although our life has been different it's also been similar in many respects. I understand your struggles.

      Although it's no consolation, being in the same position as your siblings meant your siblings struggles will have been your struggles, but hopefully through time and understanding, you can begin to feel less isolated.
