When I used to live as a Buddhist monk this was a common issue that people struggled with.
I found that people who were very active on social media probably had more issues with this than the average person. It seems that looking and reading about social interaction between others but not, seeing hearing, feeling and experiencing together with other human beings can make you feel even more lonely.
Liked how you presented this and it's a video more people should watch.
Thank you for sharing,
Thank you for your thoughts. That's definitely a huge part of it and explains why younger generations are experiencing it more intensely than some of their older counterparts.
Hey Shaun, as so often you manage to hit a spot that I´ve been feeling.
I don't even know what a Partner would feel like, and despite attempts by myself I have never found "a community" that I felt like I belonged to, I always feel like I am a guest or a passer-through. Lonliness, or at least the feeling of being alone, has been a part of my life for a long time.
My coping method is to work on myself, by myself, in my little bubble that I exist in, and not be too sad about the place I am in.
And if a person wants to enter this little bubble, they are more than welcome to, and some people have. I have friends, people I interact with daily, people that I enjoy spending time with, and I guess that's alright for now.
For me, knowing that so many other people feel this same way ends up creating an informal community of us anyway. And if we can share our struggles in a healthy way and help one another connect, we're going to be doing ourselves and our society a great service.
This video hit home. Thanks for sharing and I can relate in a lot of these areas.
Sometimes the most common feelings are the hardest to talk about because we think we're the only people that feel this way. Together we can help support each other, and talking about it is the first step.
Good video bro I have everything but I am struggling to get into a intimate relationship since 2017, that's why I feel lonely sometimes but I do not tell people or certain friends.
I just try cope with it go to gym, walk etc.
Yeah, unfortunately, there aren't shortcuts to finding relationships. However, by being aware that some of our feelings are because of loneliness, we can be wiser and find peace with those feelings a little easier instead of thinking that these problems are unique to us as individuals. That was the biggest thing for me. Knowing that it's ok to feel this way. It's normal.
I highly recommend the book. It's fascinating.
