Help How do you explain loneliness to people?

[notwhereIbelong]

I'm lucky enough to not be completely alone, I have two irl friends. But the feeling of loneliness persists; it's that feeling of being alone even in a group, like you're not really there or no one can hear you.

Now, I fucked up. Because of this feeling I did a thing that made my friends feel unappreciated, and now they're majorly pissed at me. I've already tried to apologize and explain my perspective, but I don't know how to properly get my point across.

I don't know how to really explain this feeling to someone who doesn't experience it. It's a feeling that is so intrinsic and ingrained in my brain that I don't know how to get it out.

I don't want to lose my friends, but I have no idea of how to avoid that. I feel stuck.

Talk to your friends and explain your current situation to them. . . Tell them how you feel etc and also admit what you have done wrong

If they were real friends they will understand

If not then unfortunately not

I feel the same way when I'm not talking with like let's say my girlfriend, or other people with higher intellectual level than the average, to be honest I feel very alone around people and I'm usally just dissociate. So yeah if that's your case aswell then find more different friends, but to be real there could be a lot of other reasons.

I've tried to describe it to people as my depression being like a glass wall that surrounds me and seperates me from them; I can see them and hear them, but I can't feel them. I know they are there, but I'm still cut off from them, can't reach them and they can't reach me, so I am alone - behind the wall. And that feeling is not because of them or me, it's the depression.
