Is loneliness increasing over time?

This is interesting given how technology has made knowledge more accessible and distances smaller in our modern society. Unfortunately, the current scenario is not fostering unity. In big cities, loneliness is more noticeable. As our towns grow, people may feel alone.

Individuals can walk through crowds for long periods without seeing anyone. After returning home, they are alone and spend their evenings without talking. Many urbanites feel this. Additionally, people often switch jobs and move to different cities, which can add to isolation and loneliness.

These last two terms may not be the most compatible. Each of us needs solitude. Prioritising our needs and setting boundaries with others can bring balance and peace. However, even with family and coworkers, a person can feel lonely.

I wondered where loneliness comes from, which might cause worry or despair. From feeling alienated or behind. Consider self-care and personal growth if you feel lonely. People struggle to ease others' suffering.

Due to stigma, many people may be reluctant to talk about loneliness, making it hard to diagnose. A large section of the people may not realise their loneliness.

Do you prefer...

... struggle to stay involved in activities and desire for time alone at home?

... please say you enjoy being alone and finding happiness without people.

...prefer to wait for invites or inclusion, risking disappointment if your expectations are not met?

Do you ever feel less confident, appreciated, or captivating among loved ones?

...attend a conference where people may be intrigued about you and keen to leave?

Lonely people often exhibit these tendencies.

Many people with independence issues say they have little touch with family. They have varied reasons for not seeing her anymore. Reconnecting with relatives may help.

It may be helpful to recognise that you chose to be associated with them before your birth and that they can teach you vital lessons.

While it may not be possible right now, considering it can give you a new goal that will be useful from the start. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY offers powerful reconciliation strategies that many have used. Have you considered enjoying it?

For those without parents, siblings, uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, or nieces, they can make new friends and develop a supportive network. These may take time to arrive.

When you join a meet-up group, gently ask people you know whether they want to be friends. This person may decline. After your request, you will return to the same spot without losing anything. Please note that this person may not agree yet. She respectfully denies the chance to make friends.
