Have you ever had the impression that your partner doesn't get you? Even if your partner or significant other is right beside you, it isn't enough to fill the void.
Even if you are surrounded by a large number of people, their presence ‘drowns' you in isolation!
Since we are all special and different, people feel this way. As you can see:
You are the only person in the world with the same personality, thoughts, way of life, and needs as you. ZERO! Not even identical twins! How can anybody meet all of those criteria for each individual?
According to a Bible verse, if I want to remove the speck from my neighbor's eye, I must first remove the plank from my OWN eye so that I can see clearly before attempting to remove his speck.
What does this mean in practice?
Understanding that other people are not obligated to meet our needs helps us to expect less from others, which alleviates the pain because we are no longer expecting more from them! We learn to tolerate them more fully and to judge them less harshly, which leads to the first step in overcoming loneliness: cutting others some slack!
Keep in mind that we are the sum of the five people with whom we spend the majority of our time.
It's no wonder that you're lonely and pessimistic if you hang out with a negative crowd who always makes you feel down. It's no wonder that children flee their homes to avoid negative parents or simply avoiding engaging with those groups of peers. Don't let the poison sap your vitality.
