existential loneliness

One thing I struggle with the most is existential loneliness. I have friends and family around me, but it doesn’t change how I feel inside. I’ve done a lot of introspection lately, and I’m glad I have, but the more I learn about myself, the more alone I feel. I’ve come to realize that I’ve never truly been understood in a way that makes me feel like I don’t have to explain myself or put on an act. I keep learning things about myself, what my feelings mean, how to navigate them, and what I need. And that’s the part that hurts the most: I know what I need, or at least what I think I need, which is to be understood without having to explain myself at all. I believe that once I have that, I’ll feel fulfilled. I don’t know if that’s true, but it’s what I want to believe. Will this feeling of missing something ever go away?
