I feel lonely even while interacting in a group. I do not seem to catch anyoneβs vibes. The topics, and mannerisms of everyone around me, it all seems fake to me. Both online and offline interactions with anyone have just become a formality, and I just do not feel like interacting with anyone as well. I am okay with loneliness for a while but for longer duration, it starts to eat me up. It is not that I do not have friends but they do not check on me or have a long conversation with me regularly, or unless they need anything from me.
