Lonely even when surrounded by family

This is going to sound messed up but I feel really alone even though I'm literally never alone. My wife is great, my kids are amazing, but I feel like nobody really knows me. I can't talk to my wife about deep stuff without her getting worried. I don't have close friends anymore, they all kind of drifted away. Anyone else feel isolated in their own life?

Co-parenting taught me that sometimes loneliness isn't about being alone, it's about connection. Finding even small moments that are just for you might help. And talking to someone professional could too.

That doesn't sound messed up at all man. You can be surrounded by people you love and still feel disconnected sometimes. It's real and a lot of us deal with it. Have you talked to your wife about how you're feeling?

I get that. Sometimes it's not about the people around you, it's about needing a little space that's just yours or feeling like nobody really gets what you're going through. You're not alone in feeling this way.
