I'm 16 and I feel so lonely? ?
I'm 16 and I feel very lonely..I'm in clubs at school...my grades are good, not great but I know that I'm smart enough to do better, so im working on that.. I was on my schools bowling team now Im trying out for tennis and I'm going to do swimming...I'm in clubs and I have friends, but overall I feel lonely. At times I'm afraid to be alone because that feeling of loneliness comes upon me. I don't do drugs, or drink..I have insecurities, but overall my self esteem is good. I didn't have a Great childhood because my father was abusive and I never had a female figure in my life because my mom did take care of me but I still never had an older female figure in my life and I had very low self esteem...but it's ok now, but why do I still feel lonely?

I feel alone or lonely all the time?
Even though you are not alone, it is very possible to feel lonely. That's because there is a huge difference between being alone and being lonely. You feel lonely because you don't feel that those around you can truly relate to your own life experiences. How can they though? They have not lived your life. So, its really easy to feel isolated, or disconnected, even though you may be constantly surround by people who love you. These people they do love you...you need to allow them the chance to relate to you by opening your self to those you trust (and i very much recommend that the only people you open yourself to completely is your family - they are the only ones who are guaranteed not to hurt you intentionally) Even though that may be hugely difficult, it really is the only way that they will have a chance to understand you and your perspectives on things...which in turn will help you to not feel so isolated and lonely. What you are feeling and going through is not totally uncommon...and it will take a lot of trust on your part to open yourself up enough to let those around you in more. If you can do it, awesome. If not, then I think that there will always be some amount of isolation felt... take care.
