In a world where having popularity is glorified, there is also a painstaking loneliness. Several people hide under fame and friends and mask their loneliness. Despite having a large group or following, there is still the secluded feeling many people have but don't show. Others don't even realize they're lonely as they've been gaslit by their own pomp and overwhelming busy lives. But how can someone spot whether a person is lonely? There are certain signs they exhibit that reveal the loneliness in the deep trenches of their being. Be it the way they speak and think or even their preferences and habits, a lot reveals if a person is feeling alone and left out
