The number of the global population is growing rapidly, but unfortunately, with it, the number of lonely people is increasing. Does it seem paradoxical at first glance? But everything is logical. The feeling of loneliness has nothing to do with what is happening "outside". It is an inner perception of reality.

Man can be surrounded by crowds, but at the same time, he can experience a deep sense of loneliness. He may even be in the same room with close people, feeling deeply lonely. If the feeling of loneliness does not depend on external factors, if it is part of the inner world, then it can be shaped. That's good news, isn't it? Because the objective reality from outside cannot always be changed on its own.

Therefore, loneliness is a subjective feeling, which can denote:

  • social isolation
  • non-acceptance by other people or a group of people
  • reliving a loss, stress
  • fear of making a crucial decision and taking action

Live more actively

Think about where you could find your ideas? Or simply people with whom it would be interesting to communicate on various topics. Make a list of places, communities and start going there. The easiest way is to meet new people in your studies. Maybe you should learn something new?

Find a job

An occupation or occupation is the best remedy for many psychological ailments. I will repeat this over and over again. When you are engaged in a captivating action, you have no time to be distracted by inner feelings. Developed.

You always tend to become an honest, self-sufficient, and interesting personality. If you are bored with yourself, then why do you think anyone else would be interested in communicating with you?

Shop appreciation for people

In this respect, everything is very simple - if you do not love people, there will be very few around you. We are currently "reading" the attitude of those around us. No one will like to read "what a fool" behind the seemingly kind smile. No one will come a second time to receive such a message.

Therefore, think positively about people, try to find in each one something that will arouse your respect and admiration. Then it will be much easier to treat them kindly. Understand them and accept their shortcomings just as you would like to be accepted with all your amalgam of weirdos.

Make the most of the situations

If you feel lonely today and can't change anything, try to identify the benefits of the situation. Find a job - clean up, prepare tasty food. The good news is that you have done something useful for yourself, and no one is distracting you. See the "Find a Job" section above. By the way, try to find positive aspects in any life situation!

Maybe after the bitterness of loneliness is over, your attitude toward people will change. You will appreciate them more, you will be grateful for their attention and smile, for their good deeds and words. Then it will be much easier to fulfill the previous point.

Stop whining and start being useful

Billions of people need help. Start doing good, give yourself the warmth, care and attention, then you will never be left alone. You will be fully rewarded. You have to be able to be alone among so many people. But it is not a skill worth chiseling.

In conclusion, I would like to mention what a man said about loneliness, who knew what he was talking about - Mother Teresa. "In our world, many people feel lonely. There are always people around us, yet we are alone. What is the cause? It isolates us from our behavior. We do not know how to open ourselves to those around us, we do not know how to love, we cannot encourage them with words of consolation.

We do not know how to give, but we are waiting for others to do it. But often they have their own business and worries… We often hear complaints like, "No one comes to see me, no one loves me, no one cares about me." But why should others care about you, love you, while you do nothing about it?

If you suffer from loneliness, do not be passive. Instead of indulging in loneliness waiting for attention from others, take the first step and go out into the world.

There is no reason to feel lonely when there is warmth and love in the world. Forget about yourself for a short time and do something for others. "
