Why do I feel lonely?
Have you ever felt lonely despite having so many friends?
Have you ever felt lonely while sitting next to many people?
Have you ever felt disconnected from the people around you?
Many people think that a sense of loneliness arises when a person finds himself alone. However, the truth is that a person can feel lonely even when he has thousands of friends and fans! If you are failing in answering the question “why do I feel lonely?”, it’s time to read this article and find the answer.
The opposite of loneliness is intimacy
Many people experience loneliness after graduating from college or after retiring from work. Because, for example, during the university years, they experience pain together, spend joy together and solve problems together, which creates intimacy. Just like some people are in a ship and go through the storm, the sun, the waves and the problems together, which will cause more intimacy. After college or retirement, some people may find many more friends, but the depth and intimacy of their relationship will no longer be the same.
Intimacy is the opposite of being alone and can only be achieved when you share your experiences with another person and engage in different activities together. That’s why superficial relationships will never relieve the loneliness feeling, even if you have thousands of friends.
How do I stop feeling lonely?
To end your sense of loneliness, you need to consider the following:
- Build strong relationships with people you know. Tell some people you feel better about your secrets and listen to their secrets. Do not settle for just a superficial conversation with people. Instead, build deep bonds with people and work on strengthening your bonds.
- The number does not matter. The number of friends you have does not affect your sense of loneliness, It is the intimacy that greatly affects the feeling of being alone. Having two very close friends is much better than having a hundred ordinary friends.
- Don’t just live on your own ship! Try to find something in common with yourself and your friends (like a hobby) and then do it together. This will strengthen the bond between you and reduce the feeling of loneliness.
