LONELINESS
- August 1, 2020
Loneliness is a pain many of us go through. A lot of us believe that loneliness is the bane of old age. Yes, it is true that lots of old people experience loneliness especially after the loss of their partner. However, loneliness is not only the domain of old age. Research shows that as young as 14-year olds experience loneliness. Loneliness is defined as an emotionally distressful experience coupled with perceived dissatisfying social relationships. There is a lingering sense of social isolation and uncaring, as well as unfulfilled need for affection.
While for some loneliness may be a transient state, for others it can be a longer lasting perception. The results of loneliness, especially chronic loneliness are debilitating. Poor mental health, exacerbated by negative thoughts, low mood and suicidal risk, poor physical health (high risk of hypertension, heart disease and metabolic disorders) and poor quality of life are common among individuals who are lonely.
People with loneliness frequently experience other conditions such as:
- Low energy, listlessness
- Sleeplessness – interrupted sleep
- Lack of attention and concentration
- Proneness to falling sick, body aches and pains
- Substance abuse
- Binge behaviours – binge eating, binge watching, shopping sprees
- Anxiety/restlessness
- Depression
- Lack of emotional control – excessive crying, anger outbursts, shouting and screaming etc
- Inability to express self
- Mental clouding and incoherence
Some common causes of loneliness
- Bereavement – loss of a partner or relationship
- Grief
- Change of location and not knowing anyone around
- Empty-nest syndrome
- Interpersonal conflict
- Dysfunctional family
- Divorce
- Lack of social skills or low self-esteem that cause a hinderance in social opportunities
Ways to feel better
- Therapy is a wise choice of treatment. A psychologist will be able to understand the underlying causes of loneliness and provide a viable solution
- Socializing or making friends in a new setting – talk to people, find people who have similar interests and who are willing to give you a listening ear, call them over, visit them, talk to them on phone
- Change of lifestyle
- Exercise – any form – aerobics, yoga or whichever form that pleases you. It is important to choose an exercise form that suits you or make you enjoy while doing it.
- Meditate – you may find it hard to actually set your mind to meditate. But just as our body revolts by giving us pain when you first start exercising, much in the same way our mind also revolts when you try to control it using meditation. Remember, meditation is the answer to almost all your problems. It helps you with changing your aura, so that you attract positive energy and positive things happen to you.
- Balanced diet – eat a balanced meal, and eat in small quantities many times a day. IT will help with your metabolism
- Nature walk
- Befriending other lonely people – if you are alone, befriend others who are sailing in the same boat.
- Adopt a pet if you can
- Develop a hobby
- Visit places
What can you do about it?
Whatever may be the cause, the treatment lies in understanding the situation from the person’s point of view, who experiences loneliness. When you see someone living alone, it becomes your duty to ask him if he is alright and if he needs some company. Chances are that yes, he will need company but will be happy only with a few words of compassion and kindness. These people don’t need your pity or mercy, they simply need to be needed.
Thank you for reading.
Cheers always!

February 10, 2021With every thing that seems to be developing throughout this specific area, all your viewpoints are generally fairly exciting. Having said that, I am sorry, but I can not give credence to your entire suggestion, all be it radical none the less. It looks to everybody that your opinions are actually not totally validated and in simple fact you are generally yourself not really thoroughly confident of your argument. In any event I did enjoy reading through it. Laural Jule Kassandra

March 5, 2021I do not understand whether you are being appreciative or critical. Moreover, I would like to know who is
‘everybody” being referred here. On my part, I keep trying to give my own perspective on the state of things. Some may like them and some may not. Everyone is free to have their opinion and keep them. So my answer to you is, thank you if you liked reading what i had to say. And sorry if you didn’t. Stay happy!

February 19, 2021Hi! There will always be some readers who like the content posted on my website and others who won’t. I do not employ content writers and all the content on the website has been written by me. When I write, I write based on my experience and knowledge. Sometimes for a lay person certain technical terms may not be understood. And that is understandable. While I endeavor to keep things simple, some terms cannot be substituted with simpler ones because it will compromise the point that I am trying to drive. Hope you understand.
I have kept your suggestion in mind nevertheless.
