"When you're surrounded by all these people, it can be even lonelier than when you're by yourself. You can be in a huge crowd, but if you don't feel like you can trust anybody or talk to anybody, you feel like you're really alone"

This quote speaks to the concept that loneliness is not always an outcome of being alone, but rather an outcome of feeling disconnected from those around you. Even when surrounded by people, if you don't seem like you can trust anybody or talk to anybody, it can be even lonelier than when you're by yourself. This talks to the idea that loneliness is not simply a physical state, however an emotional one as well. It is possible to be surrounded by people and still feel separated and alone. This quote emphasizes the value of meaningful connections and relationships in order to fight isolation. It is just through meaningful relationships that we can truly feel linked to those around us and not feel so alone.
