I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you -- Nobody -- Too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise -- you know!
How dreary -- to be -- Somebody!
How public -- like a Frog --
To tell one's name -- the livelong June --
To an admiring Bog!

-Emily Dickinson-
A nobody is someone with no importance and no purpose in life. Someone who considers themselves a nobody should evaluate if the really qualify to feel that way. There are two reason's as to why a person may be a nobody. A matter of esteem comes into play when we hear a person calling themselves a nobody. If a Person is confident enough to be comfortable on their own, then they are somebody. If a person doesn't accept who they are nobody will accept them. Being a nobody means that you are lacking something right? Charm, intelligence, friends, love, a sense of humor, athletic ability, anything. When someone feels bad about themselves, they are usually depressed. Depression causes people to be unsociable and uninterested in participating in life, it makes you feel alone and helpless-like a nobody.
In a different light, some people might see being a nobody as being different in a most unconformisist way.
People like this feel they have nothing to add to daily conversation and activities of the day . Perhaps this is because they feel like they are entitled to a better way of life-a life where they are their own friend, where they do not have to deal with others. These types of people choose to be a nobody because it gives them a sense of being somebody without being like the people around them.
One chooses to label themselves as being a no one and the other doesn't-in fact- they might even be unaware that they are viewed as a somebody who is a nobody!
A nobody doesn't know if they really are alone until they find somebody that is a nobody just like them. Then they realize that they mattered all along.
