Lonely, forgotten, and abandoned. Everything seems so much harder when you're alone. You walk through the halls and see a happy couple holding hands. As you sit down Monday morning, the two girls next to you are chatting away about their amazing weekend together. The whole team goes out for pizza, and everyone seems to get along so well, but you sit on the edge of the table quietly listening and not participating in the conversation. When you sit down at the dinner table, your parents consistently fawn over your superstar brother, and no matter how hard you try, you can't get anyone to pay attention to you.
Nobodiness can take over someone's whole life. The emotion can haunt you at school, it can make you feel alone at home, it can affect your personal life in unimaginable ways. Nobodiness affects almost everyone at some point or another, but it isn't always socially inflicted. Nobodiness can be caused by oneself, through low self-esteem. Nobodiness can happen anywhere and anytime, but every time it's present, it's not welcome.
