Sometimes being around people can make you feel more alone than ever. Imagine going to a big party, there are lots of people talking and laughing, but you don’t know anyone. You might feel like everyone else is having fun while you’re just watching from the side. It’s kind of like being in a room full of people who are all playing their own game, and you're not sure how to join in.
Examples
- A student at a crowded school cafeteria feels left out even though there are plenty of people around.
- An adult at a busy airport waiting for their flight feels like no one else understands the stress they're feeling.
- A kid at a packed amusement park feels like everyone is having fun, but not them.
