My Mindset dictates my loneliness. Sometimes I can feel lonely in a crowded room and for me loneliness is more about my state of mind than having people around me. It’s a feeling of insecurity and low self esteem.

Feeling awkward, a square peg in a round hole or what’s the point anyway? It’s exactly how I felt as a child, that same hole in my soul, that void. Then in the same breath I can be the life and soul of the party, bursting with confidence and right in the centre of everything and the only thing that’s changed is my mindset. For me the feeling of loneliness depends on how my mental health is.
