Being alone and feeling lonely might seem like the same thing, but for someone living with BPD/EUPD or CPTSD, the difference can be profound. Alone vs Lonely Alone is a physical state.

Itโ€™s the feeling that no one sees you, understands you, or cares about your existence. Loneliness can happen even in a crowded room.
