“Does noticing things that others don’t make a person feel lonelier?”
A lonely person doesn’t have to be a person that doesn’t have a lot of people around their circle. Although it is true that a lonely person can be described to run solo, a person can feel lonely despite being with a large number of people. It all comes from how they perceive the world with their brain, eyes, and emotions.
Some people may notice little things in our large world that other people may just simply brush off. The saying “always the writer, never the poem” can be served as an example. The person who receives the letter may just simply stuff it in the back of their bag and never look at it again, but the writer may notice one day the person they’re writing to has a beauty mark on their cheek that the writer may find sentimental. Since not a lot of people may overlook things like that, no one will seem to care about the little freckles on the writer.
Overtime, a person who looks deeper into things than most people may feel like they give a lot of themselves to people, but will only receive so little. “Receiving” here doesn’t have to mean materialistic things, but it means things like small gestures, compliments, hand-picked flowers, etc. Especially when the person hasn’t found their person yet (best friend, significant other, etc.,) they’ll feel like they’re only here to heal and please others. What these people don’t realize is that they just haven’t found their person yet. Everyone has a person, but everyone will find their person at different and unexpected times in their life. Every pair will notice things that together, will create a bigger picture.
