Who else is all alone here? By that I mean you don’t have a significant other, you don’t have family that cares about you, and you don’t have real genuine friends.
I feel all alone in this world. It’s literally “Me Against The World.”

This describes me, and you’re so right that it leads to feeling like it’s “me against the world”. And that leads to all sorts of paranoid (but often accurate) fears & anxieties that never let up.
There should be an entirely different branch of psychology that deals with the isolated mind, because it sure as hell ain’t the same as regular suffering. I’ve been through both, and this shit makes normal mental health look like Candyland.
Not even having someone to pick you up from the hospital is a shitty feeling I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Even the hospital refused to discharge me until I lied and said my ride is lost and I need to stand on the street where they can see me. Then walked home completely alone. This shit fucking sucks and the sad thing is, by definition no one cares.
Yup, when no one cares about you, and you feel your life doesn’t really matter (ie that you don’t make a difference in the world), then what do a there to live for?
Bingo. I bet even “happy” people who are completely alone will eventually get sucked into that pit. Because even if you’re happy, have money, all the toys or whatever, sooner or later you’ll realize that you don’t matter, that your existence is a dead end, nobody will ever care about anything you ever did or experienced. You might as well be sealed in a coffin and shot into deep space (with all your worthless toys).
Well ppl who are “completely alone” are not happy. They might tell ppl that outwardly, but humans are social creatures. No one who does not have friends or family or someONE important to them is “happy.”
These days so many ppl on social media and in comments CLAIM they are “so happy” without ppl/friends/bfs/drama etc. But deep down, they’re all lonely and crave connection.
Not all ppl care about a “sense of purpose” though. Especially the non-thinkers. There are plenty of ppl who are just happy going out, shopping, gossiping, having fun, etc and don’t care they’re not leading a “meaningful” life. I think that’s more an introvert thinking person kind of problem.
Like lots of extroverts especially are just fine and happy as long as they have lots of friends, relations, etc. a “meaningful” life to them is having fun and connecting with ppl.
Their definition of “meaningful” is not like yours or mines. We are more goal/task/outcome oriented. They are not.
But no one is “happy” being all alone. No one.
