Loneliness is the feeling of isolation or being alone and it is a human experience. It is one of the most pervasive human experiences. Everyone describes loneliness in different ways, but most people tend to agree that it is an unpleasant, yet unavoidable part of life.

Loneliness has many causes: not having anyone to share your interests, feeling that no one around you understands you, having a hard time making friends etc.

It can lead to, stress and make you wonder why there is no one to care for you in life.

You can be in a large crowd and still be alone. Loneliness isn't about not having people around, it's not having any connection with others. The worse is when you feel disconnected from others even when they are there

 

 However, not just young adults, but also children and elderly people can feel lonely. Loneliness is very common. It happens to everyone may it be a teenager or an adult. You might be in a long-distance relationship or you might be staying in a place far from your family members. These feelings of loneliness might make you feel worthless and sad. It makes you feel like you are not needed by anyone. The worst feeling ever is when you feel like nobody cares. Nobody gives a shit. Nobody feels your pain. You get the picture. I know how that feels…

 

We all have times when we don't feel like we have anyone to talk to, but that feeling is not the same as loneliness. Even if you don't have any friends, if you've got a family and close relatives, then you're still not suffering from chronic loneliness. Loneliness usually develops as a symptom of depression or anxiety, which is why people who suffer from these disorders often feel lonely.

The fact that loneliness is something that can affect anyone is the true problem here. As a society, we need to change what we consider most important in our lives. We all need to redefine happiness as something more than material possessions.

There are so many options out there for how to combat loneliness. Everyone has an opinion on how to deal with this epidemic, but what are some of the real and inspiring ways to deal with this social issue?

A form of depression that makes you feel disconnected from the world around you, will make you ask yourself 'why am I here?' and start thinking of ways of escape. It's scary, not knowing where you are heading, though at times you might think you're heading somewhere amazing but then there'll be a sudden change of direction and it will throw you back at square one or worse... square negative two.

This feeling can make you question your purpose in life, questioning if you're here for something better or if you are just another person that god forgot to save because he forgot about me, life took him for a spin for a second and he left me behind.

Well, the only thing I can tell myself is that I have to keep pushing forward no matter what happens. I can't choose my circumstances but I can choose whether to accept them or not and I choose to prosper from them.

The first step toward eradicating this issue is to accept that we must find someone to hold on to in life. We need to seek help either from family or close friends, or someone who can understand us better.

Cure loneliness by finding the strength to ask for help when needed.

We have to open our minds and let people into our lives.

It is not easy but possible with a little effort from your side and willingness to accept others into your life as friends when they are offered...

 To deal with loneliness you need to seek help. If nothing seems to work out for you, visit a therapist if possible. Try not to stay indoors always and open your mind to socializing.

Loneliness makes us feel alone. So it' very necessary for everyone to let other people feel your presence, your willingness to listen and talk with them. Let them express what they feel and never invalidate their emotions. Connect and communicate.

And that's why some of us need to be good listeners cos a lot of people want to talk but don't have someone to talk to and it later makes them depressed. And if we have anything in mind, we should learn to talk to people too instead of feeling lonely

I am very much misunderstood, I honestly thought letting people in will ease the loneliness, but it turns out ehn they know you more, what they become is judgemental.

Man is social animal. He needs other to do everything. It's difficult for the person to survive alone that's why loneliness effects his mind effectively.

Yes, loneliness is not having people around, it's by lack of connection with people around. Where I live now, I'm currently on one man army but I'm fully connected with people once I pick my phone
