The Feeling of Loneliness

LONELINESS
I will follow up with a topic that's exactly opposite of this loneliness feeling. So...there's no exact words to put it so I'm just going to rant on about this topic. 
I'm sure that the feeling of loneliness is something that we as humans feel from one time to another. I have inquired the question in an Instagram post once asking, "What are your biggest fears" and some people answered with the fear of being alone. I can't agree to that more than I already do, because that's the same thing I fear and sometimes even feel. 
WHY DO WE FEEL THIS WAY?
As the emotional beings we are, we can't live without people surrounding us. It gives a sense of comfort and belonging. Maybe this has started with evolution, same goes that an economy can't grow without the help of others. We are social beings that want others around us so we end up feeling alone when we lose that sense. A humans emotions are based off of the way others interact with them and those feelings include: trust, honesty, loyalty, and love. So then, we have this sense to make others happy in order to make ourselves happy and vise versa. As an independent being, it's a topic that's hard to grasp. I often feel like I need to do things without others, but the truth is that not everything can be done without the help of others. This fear is what makes relationships with others so important. Relationships are proven to be the top cause of the way we feel whether it be happy or unhappy.
WHY DO I FEEL THIS WAY?
I guess...the only way I can feel better is to explain and say it in this way. Some people can be more emotional than others. I've had feelings of loneliness every since I was a child. I've always felt that I didn't fit into society's norms or have a group of friends that made me feel like I was a part of something. To this day I still remember the time before I went to sleep when I was ten years old, crying to my mom that I felt like I had no friends. At the time, I really didn't know that the feeling was, but all I knew was that I felt hurt inside. Now, no matter how many friends I attain, I still continue to feel that same feeling of loneliness from time to time. There are days were I feel like I don't fit into the group of friends or that one day I will grow apart from a friend. I also have feelings that the friends I have now don't see me as much of a friend as I see them. I guess it could be the things of the unknown that scares people. I have learned about relationships in psychology before and these feels can diminish once a strong relationship is established and once the person feels better about themselves. The feelings can also change by establishing healthy lifestyles and creating a better mental health. 

Having feelings of loneliness become difficult for those that go through the same feelings. I'm the type of person that loves establishing relationships and become extroverted with having a connection with others, but finds it difficult to create those relationships. I also tend to blame it on my short comings whether it is my looks, the way I act, or my personality. This is when I tell myself to not think that way, but it is difficult and overcoming those feelings are also difficult. But, I remind myself that I'm not the only one that feels this way, and to appreciate those around me is the best I can do for myself and for others.
