There is the loneliness of not being around people, but also the loneliness of being unknown. When you’re around people and they know your name, and you have casual conversation, but they don’t really know you. They don’t know who you are, how you think, what you may be feeling, or how your life has been up to this point. The loneliness of being unknown, surrounded by people yet a stranger to them all. Personally, I found this loneliness to be the most isolating of all.
