“Losing hope is easy
When your only friend is gone
And every time you look around
Well, it all, it all just seems to change
But hanging on is easy
When you’ve got a friend to call
When nothings making sense at all
You’re not the only one that’s afraid of change”
-Losing Hope by Jack Johnson
Have you ever felt completely alone in a crowded room? Have you ever felt like you are just floating, alone, as the noises around you blur into one big mess of
Happiness you wish you could feel.
Have you ever felt disconnected? Like you are just too tired to even make an effort to come back down from your floating numbness as their loud, excited, bubbly voices surround you.
Have you ever felt like crying but the tears won’t come? Have you ever felt like giving up? Have you ever been so numb and tired that you feel
Disconnected?
Have you ever felt completely alone in a crowded room?

Dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?
Well, I’m here with you..
-Dark Blue by Jack’s Mannequin
I so understand what you mean
I feel like this all the time
Like life around you is a movie you’re watching
“…i don’t want the world to see me,
cuz i don’t think that they’d understand…
…when everything feels like the movies
yeah you ______ just to know you’re alive…”
-the goo goo dolls
my days are spent in a fog, a rumbling storm over my head, my heart a stone and my eyes fill with tears i can’t let go, because it’ll prove i’m weak. my injuries prove i’m both strong and weak, and they scare people- make them scared for me. they all try to help, but none of them really get it. You’re not alone, Staystrong, you are NOT alone.
I have felt like this a lot – almost all the time recently. I realize though, I am not the only one in the same room who feels like this – and therefore I am not as alone as I thought.
Thanks for posting this.
This is really powerful..i feel like this most of the time and its so awful. Hopefully we can all overcome this and feel happy and connected again!
Thanks 🙂 You guys have helped me a lot and made me feel so much less alone.
crossinglines and nic27, those are two of my favourite songs. 🙂 Not many people know about the Jack’s Mannequin song, but that song, and those lyrics “have you ever been alone in a crowded room”, sprung immediately to my mind when I was realizing how painful it feels to “be alone in a crowded room.” I’m glad you understand so deeply. I was so shocked to see that you had posted these lyrics, because that song, and the whole segment of the goo goo dolls song, especially “when everything feels like the movies” describes so much of how I feel.
Kind of like what I read in an amazing book, “Just Listen” by Sarah Dessen, there are people who say they like music. But then there are people like me who can’t live without music, because I am a dancer and because it has helped me through so many hard times, and there is always at least one artist or song that you can relate to in any situation.
“It’s like forgetting the words to your favorite song.
You can’t believe it; you were always singing along.
It was so easy and the words so sweet.
You can’t remember; you try to feel the beat…
…You spend half of your life trying to fall behind.
You’re using your headphones to drown out your mind.
It was so easy and the words so sweet.
You can’t remember; you try to move your feet.”
