Is it normal that i always feel lonely? (even with people)

I am kind of weird when it comes to "friends". I have phases, most of my life I have been completely alone, but I have had certain groups at certain moments.

I don't like being alone, but I have learned how to live with it and I can enjoy my time and be happy without other people. The problem is that even when I am surrounded by other people, I also feel quite lonely... in fact... I feel more lonely.

I know that people like me. I am kind of negative, but I guess I am usually nice to people, so they really have no reason to hate me. I guess I also like most people... but I almost never have a deep conection with anyone. I don't feel like I can't trust most people and I actually don't feel like talking about most things with anyone. In fact, I feel like the others feel the same... that they like hanging out with me, but they don't actually want to befriend me.

I never felt like I belonged anywhere. Whenever I have a problem, I have no one to talk to about it. I feel like people think I am replaceable (well... everyone is afterall). Also, I don't feel like anyone actually cares about me. People never ask me stuff... they never wonder if I am okay or whether I feel depressed or anything.

I don't know... whenever I am surrounded by people I don't feel connected to, I feel the worst. I actually prefer to be alone in my house than around people that don't really care about me. In fact... when I am forced to spend a lot of time with people, I start feeling homesick...

Is this normal?

    Firstly: I feel the same way
    Secondly: You are soo wrong, NO ONE IS REPLACEABLE! Everyone is unique therefore you could never replace any one person
    Thirdly: I tend to have these same thoughts as you do, You have to remember that most people don't actually care about themselves just like you and I, therefore how can you expect them to care about someone when they don't even like themselves. Everyone has their own issues
    I like being on my own because I just can't be bothered putting up with people's lies and shit they go on with!
    So don't worry, most people don't know how to care or what to ask like the simplest things 'are you ok'? because they are so shut off because of their internal worries
