Nobody prepares you for the particular loneliness of not enjoying your own life - not because it's empty, but because it looks so full from the outside that you can't even say it out loud without feeling like you're complaining - Silicon Canals

Loneliness can stem from feeling disconnected from a seemingly successful life, leading to a hollow experience despite external appearances.
Mental health
fromSilicon Canals

Psychology says the loneliness of having no close friends is not the same loneliness of being isolated - it is the loneliness of being consistently almost known, of spending years in relationships that go up to the edge of real intimacy and stop, and the stopping is always the same stopping and it is always your own hand on the door - Silicon Canals

Real connection requires depth, not just quantity, in relationships to avoid feelings of isolation.
