It's the feeling that everyone in the world ignores your problems. It's feeling like everything in the world can and will go wrong. It's feeling like you don't exist.
This is what it's like to be a "nobody". They are always in the background of life, and unnoticed. Perhaps they don't know how to be noticed. Everyone has been a "nobody" at least once in their life. Some people choose to get away from that status by doing wacky things. We can all remember that one "crazy kid" from middle school who did something insane. Other people get away from being a "nobody" by doing things to make other people like them and know who they are.
It's our desire to be noticed that makes the idea of being a nobody one of the worst imaginable situations. Humans want people to know that they exist, that they aren't just in the background. Humans want to feel that they have a purpose in life.
I like that you tie this concept of "nobodiness" to all the different age groups and how hard it is to fit in.
