Dependable but lonely: 'Who would notice if I disappeared?','
A reader says that despite a busy life filled with family, friends and obligations, they still feel unseen and question who would notice their absence.
Dear Annie: I am wondering if I am the only one who feels this way, though I suspect I am not. From the outside, my life looks full. I have family, friends, responsibilities and a calendar that rarely seems empty. Yet somehow, I often feel lonely right in the middle of it all.
