What is the mian idea to this poem? PLEASE PLEASE HELP

I’m Nobody! Who Are You?
by Emily Dickinson

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!

The poem's main idea is about isolation. The author or the point of view from which the poem is being written from wants you to feel like your a nobody. Like they don't know you. It can also be based on social status. The idea of someone being a nobody in school, the unpopular.

Hope this helped!
