6 Signs Your Trauma is Making You Lonely

6 Signs Your Trauma is Making You Lonely

Trauma can really affect us in different ways, and one important way is by making us feel lonely. When we go through tough experiences, it can mess with how we feel and act, and sometimes that leads to feeling alone. Feeling lonely because of trauma is like a cycle the tough experiences make it hard to be close to others, and feeling alone can make dealing with the tough stuff even harder. It's important to know this connection between trauma and loneliness so we can understand ourselves better and find ways to heal our mental health. It’s a fundamental problem in my life not just a temporary state. It was just the other day that I learned another part of why I always feel broken, unlovable, and lonely. As an adult, I’ve always understood that my mother not being able to hold me or take care of me in any way immediately after my birth meant that we never formed the natural connection between mother and child. But I hadn’t taken that understanding far enough. I realized recently that I felt rejected, lonely, unlovable, and probably terrified. It’s no wonder that I cried a lot. That’s always been used as an indictment of me by my mother, but it should have been an indictment of the situation instead. She had someone take care of me during the day, but when Dad wasn’t home at night there wasn’t anyone reliably there for me. I’m sure others who were separated from their parent(s) after birth deal with some feelings of rejection. I hope they had someone to fully support them after the separation.

I used to be so naive, thinking that people are always ready to be by my side and never disappear the same way I behave myself, being loyal and trustful. In the end, even those the most important ones to me tend to swoosh away, some just see me as a third wheel, and some of them disappear with no point to get in contact with. This definitely tought me how this life is. But those moments of letting go the people I value the most affected my subconsciousness if I may say so, leaving those mental wounds that one is unable to heal but only take care of, developed a high level of distrust and cautiousness towards humanity (including how our modern world collapses. I do wanna be loved, I know how to use my own pros and cons. But the more I experience people, the more I prefer my loneliness. I really don't want to experience that feeling of despair again.

Another likely sign is the feeling of safety whenever you're alone, I won't diagnose myself, but I've felt most of these before so I think I have some room to talk about it. That feeling whenever you believe its all over, yet the only safe place you can find is by yourself nowadays, that sense of disturbance whenever someone pulls you out of that trance, even if they're a family member wanting to check in or ask you something. The most damning part about trauma induced loneliness is whenever your brain craves nothing but solitude.

I think I checked off all 6 of these signs, though I can’t remember any particular past trauma. Maybe getting picked on as a kid caused me to be closed off to most people and the few people I did call friends always ended up moving away. That could be why I’ve built up this barrier around myself. Most people are not going to be kind to me so I distrust them and the ones who will be kind are just going to leave me anyway, or something like that. I don’t know, I don’t pretend to understand what’s going on inside my head.

Y’know the feeling like no one really understands you is probably the most accurate for almost everyone, and that is just sad because we don’t get eachother cuz everyone has a lot of mental struggles inside to take the strength of carrying others, there are people brave and assertive enough, but the fact that the majority in this world is who needs much help without any sort of strength left in them is what is shattering for our social mindset

2022 was the best year of my life. 2023 was the worst. Nothing but loses, no wins. Lost my girlfriend, lost my first dog, my karate school closed down nowhere to train, my band broke up, my friends group split, and I feel lonely all the time. I was alone a lot in my life but I haven't felt lonely like this since high school 15 years ago.

Just wanted to give some feedback for the subtitles, I preferred it when they didn't animate with a fade-in. It's quite distracting when your main content is simplistic still images a lot of the time, and i feel like you're reading text with 50% opacity constantly as when the word is said it's still fading in.
Thank you for the great videos

I dunno. I've got so many strikes against myself, including things I can't control like TBI and autism. I lost the purpose of my life when we moved across the Atlantic almost ten years ago, and we can't afford to move anywhere else now. Yeah, I can do basic living, but what is the point of that when nothing holds onto your interest for long

5. You feel misunderstood by anyone

I feel like the reason im lonely because I’m so depressed and suicidal that I stay away from the people I love the most. I also overdose so then I act different then lose other people
I also have really bad trust issues so I can’t be completely honest with people so then I lose even more.

I feel 6/6 of these lately. Like for a few months now that I begun trying to opening up myself. Often struggle to even do eye contact just to avoid interaction and making acquaintances. Just hope I will get through it and finally be able to socialize more this year.
reply

But what if you don't have a loved one you can trust with opening up to and every attempt to seek profesional help only make things worse. What options are left then
If therapy is the antibiotics of mental health what do you do when you're allergic to it

I am severely hurt and lonely. I have been this way for over 14 years now. Now my body is starting to react to it. I have tried everything. Therapy, counseling, many coping strategies, hobbies, traveling, meditation, and much more. Now I find myself numb.
reply

I can see how I fit into many things mentioned here.
Less because of war or the likes but rather because of my problematic childhood and difficulties with my father.
Luckily I found help recently and try to _overwrite_ bad events with good ones.

Psych29go can you do a video on how spanking your child has negative effects on them when they get older this includes cursing at them in my past i experience this and it was my trauma to this day i haven't gotten better
reply

I've been feeling like this a lot for over a year now, even with prescribed medications and recently therapy sessions from a psychologist. It really sucks. I don't even know why I keep going anymore.
reply

It's really hard. Trying to deal with this without therapy. I can somewhat control it but at times feel lost and without a sense of direction. Especially the last few months have been challenging.
reply

i know ypu say its temporary but what if you have no one. no friends or family and no medical insurance.
i beem suffering for 5 years and sometimes feel like it will never end
