sometimes, I question myself — Why do I feel so lonely by myself ?

I have a full fledge family and friends, and I go to parties too where I find a lot of people. Still, I experience alone.

Yes, it is so, because I am not quite satisfied with what I  have.

when I look around sometimes,  and I see dozens of other people, who are sailing in the same boat,  sitting near each other, chatting and smiling but still feeling alone. Do you know what I mean to say?

It is the common problem of today, the answer of which is to be found.

Because loneliness can make you depressed and can lead to early death. And even it can make you prey to Alzheimer’s disease.

Some steps need to be taken alone

I am sure you would also agree that this is an alarming and in fact, loneliness can physically harm us. The problem is that more and more people are feeling lonely today. In fact, it is almost one in three.

In recent years, loneliness has become a growing concern of life due to the increasing pace of modern life, technological advancements, and social changes that have led to a decline in human interaction and social support.

You think that with all of these social media smartphones and face timing that allows us to get in touch with one another instantly are the factors. But actually, the opposite is true. 

We are becoming lonelier, more depressed, and more anxious than ever. And people are turning to therapy and antidepressants to cope with the problem.

Loneliness is not only an unpleasant feeling but also a public health issue, as it has been linked to a range of physical and mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, cardiovascular disease, and decreased immune function.

Nothing can bring you peace but yourself

 Research has shown that chronic loneliness can be as harmful to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, making it a serious concern that deserves attention now.

The good news is that loneliness is a treatable condition and there are many ways to overcome it. Here are some tips that can be helpful to overcome loneliness and improve the sense of connection with others.

Connect with others through social activities:

One of the best ways to overcome loneliness is to engage in social activities that bring you in contact with others. This can be anything from joining a club / group that interests you to volunteering at a local organization to participating in community events and gatherings. Engaging in activities that you enjoy and that allow you to connect with others can help you build new relationships, increase your sense of belonging, and improve your overall well-being.

The most terrible poverty is loneliness

Use technology to connect with others:

In our digital age, technology provides many opportunities to connect with others, even if we can’t physically be together. Platforms like social media, video conferencing, and instant messaging allow us to stay connected with friends and family, and even make new connections, from anywhere in the world.

Seek professional help:

If you are struggling with loneliness and are unable to overcome it on your own, it may be helpful to seek professional help. A mental health professional can provide you with the support and guidance you need to address the root causes of your loneliness and develop a plan for overcoming it.

Practice self-care:

Taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental well-being is crucial to overcoming loneliness. This includes eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, getting enough sleep, and engaging in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Additionally, practicing self-compassion, mindfulness, and positive thinking can help you develop a more positive outlook on life and increase your sense of connection to others.
