Existential isolation
Have you ever felt like nobody understands you or like nobody really knows who you are? That's kind of what existential isolation is. It's a feeling of being alone and disconnected from the world and the people around you.
Think of it like being on an island all by yourself. You can see other people on other islands, but you can't really talk to them or understand them. You might feel sad or frustrated that you can't connect with anyone.
Existential isolation is a bit like that, except instead of being on a physical island, you might feel like you're on an emotional or mental island. You might feel like nobody really "gets" you, or like you're the only one who sees the world the way you do.
It's a really tough feeling to deal with, but it's important to know that you're not alone. Lots of people feel this way sometimes, and there are things you can do to help yourself feel less isolated. You can try talking to a trusted friend, family member, or counselor about how you're feeling. You can also try finding a group or community of people who share your interests or values – sometimes having a sense of belonging can help combat the feeling of existential isolation.
