Lonely after being around lots of people?

Question

i went on a trip these past couple days. it was noisy the whole time cause there were these 4 little kids. i played with them and entertained them the whole time. they were so cute and loud and loved me! they wouldn't leave me alone and just wanted to play with me.

now that im back home, i feel so lonely and i feel like i dont belong here. i wasn't even excited when i saw my parents and sister after a couple days of being apart from them. even my own room feels weird and unfamiliar in a way. i was so tired from being with the little kids but now i cant fall asleep. this feeling is so weird. very sad, lonely, depressing... i just keep missing the craziness and want to go back in time or something lols

has this ever happened to you? how do i stop feeling this way and go back to my normal life?

Answer 1

Yes I have felt the same way.  I live alone and if it weren't for conversations with people on the phone, and the people I see at work I would feel pretty disconnected from the rest of humanity.  Humans are social animals.  Make some friends.

I used to be a teacher and was around kids a lot.  Although teaching is a disgusting and horrible thing to do with your life, being around kids was always a joy.   If it wasn't for all the administrative and political c**p going down all the time it I would pay them for the privilege of teaching.

Answer 2

Life, more natural life, sort of ever demands the presence of quick cute spontaneous noisy kids, and of noisy or loud entertainment, and of creative and even exhausting moments of activity.

Life may fiercely want to escape banality, constricting frames, whatever is felt to be stagnant and stale.

Life, real natural life, may irresistibly even painfully want the throbbing ardent presence of a lover, and we are supposed to try and "work" in this sense, in the sense of trying and finding a lover, in the sense of mulling over the glowing perspectives of a love.

But, alternatively loneliness sometimes may be beautiful even filled up with reflection, with lots of deep glowing soul's reflection, with fresh lonely freedom's walks on the endless bright shores of one's own soul, whatever.

You might try and expose yourself more to moments of loving smiling chances.

Allow me to wish you a good laugh.

Yeah, that used to happen after my friends and relatives would come and go for long periods of time and then the house is just silent.

I accept it as a fact of life and then move on.

You can't be sad forever. :)
