Losing that connection is hard, but that feeling of loss does not last, and you are able to live with it. Of course, work must be done to reach that like in anything.
I'm single for past 5 years. Before I was always in relationships never giving myself a break. As attachment style is program for life, I went through therapy 5 years back. I don't feel lonely. I was feeling lonely in relationships. I do love being with people as much as I love recharging with myself. Allonnes isn't loneliness. Love!💖🙏🏻😘
As some who has set up a number of different community projects over the years ranging from an amateur dramatics society to an athletics race, I'd say one way of decreasing your loneliness is by setting up a community group or event based around your interests. It will help you meet likeminded people and you can help tackle the social problems in your community. I set up the groups I mentioned because I had an interest in the arts and in long distance running. Through these groups, I helped generate money for local good causes and helped people learn a lot of extra skills and gain experience that helped them later in life. There a plenty of social problems on your doorstep, so go fix them and thereby fix your loneliness.
See... I'm a part of communities, i have several close friends, and im the kind of person who can make fast friends everywhere i go. I'm like a puppy. But ever since i thought I found "the one" and then she ended it... I've just been crushingly lonely. I've never met another person so on my wavelength and it feels like i never will again 😔 Now everything feels like I'm just going through the motions.
It’s social media platforms you’re not interfacing with people but you’re perceiving that you are “connecting” with others through screens. When you realise this you can be overwhelmed with a sense that you’re all alone because you ACTUALLY are! Loneliness and being alone are obviously two different constructs obviously and some prefer alone time more than others(introversion/extroversion) but we all at some stage will get fed up if we are too alone or around people too much(social burnout). I deleted most of my other online platforms as it was exhausting tying to keep up with everything and I hated seeing a filtered life of someone I used to be very close too when we weren’t dependent on phones(which wasn’t a million years ago/ I’m actually not that ancient lol). Just saying, when you rely less on technology and just switch off or only use it when necessary you will connect more with people and feel happier x
I am currently 64 years old and basically alone in life I have a very sick mother that lives a couple hours away I have zero friends I live in a senior building but I don't enjoy the activities that they have here and like I said with social anxiety I am not comfortable around most people I do a chair yoga class once a week here and a regular yoga class outside my buildings but I don't really know what to say to these strangers so I keep to myself I've gotten accustomed to being alone but the past couple weeks I don't know what has triggered me but the loneliness I've been crying a lot
Thank you for talking about this topic and breaking it down nicely, it's very important topic that many of us want to understand and hopefully overcome loneliness. ❤️
I am lonely because I am foreign in a new country. When I tell my mother that I still have not made any friends and that I feel lonely, she tells me that there's something wrong with me and that I need therapy. I get no empathy from my own mother and that makes me even more lonely...
Don´t listen to her, she doesn´t know shit. Why did you move to a different country? If you have a job, you can talk to people there. I suggest you find a hobby/entertainment in the meantime, so it can keep your brain occupied.
Thanks dear this video is for me I too feel lonely most of time means my entire teenage and 20s went in loneliness...wish I had seen these types of videos earlier... Francesca I LOVE YOU Thanks for posting this❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It explains why I don’t feel well (mentally), I have zero in the first 2 columns. You are a great presenter and I’m grateful for your videos, if I met you in real life I’m sure I’d like to be friends with you 😂
This is so insightful. It is helpful for people who are fighting with mental health issues. Also the thought process articulated and the understanding of the society’s default narrative and its unhealthy impact is amazing. Everyone (of all age groups) needs to listen this. Thankyou for sharing. 🙏
I put off watching this for fear it was about jumping into a lot of social things thatcwere out of my comfort zone. I love the tap analogy. But I, as always, appreciate your advice. This video gave so many tips and new prospectives. I'm going to make that list and come back to this video. Thanks Francesca 😉🤗
I have close friends which I'm really grateful for and also a community, my swimming class for example. But I've never been in a relationship. Nothing I wish more than having someone coming home to..
the problem is that I don't have friends, I used to have one intimate friend and she left, even tho I still have contact with her we don't talk that much and at school, I feel so lonely.I try to keep myself away from toxic relationships that fill my loneliness but it's just hard to be lonely and have obsessive thinking which is thinking of scenarios that boost my dopamine
I have made a choice to stay lonely.Because I was married for 5 weeks.Being single for 25 years.Face the facts.Women rip of men.Men have had enough.I rather have my car.At 65 I can't be bothered.I am not mad.Attitudes have to change.All to do with money.
Being lonely and not having a true person really closey connect with and tell very personal things ! Is hard to deal with 😢😢
Losing that connection is hard, but that feeling of loss does not last, and you are able to live with it. Of course, work must be done to reach that like in anything.
Exactly💯. I can understand your pain.

which country you r in ?
Start first by joining an activity group. The rest will fall into place.
Pray to God and start making friends. Everything will be fine. U have to do it. Make friends. Common
