Loneliness
Janet Martin • September 21, 2018
Loneliness is one is a major cause of unhappiness and it has a negative effect on our health. I think most of us experience loneliness at some point in our lives. It can be debilitating but it doesn’t have to be permanent. We can do something with it and about it.
Connection to others is a key under-pinning to happiness - we are made for connection. I found this great article
on Happify the other day on how to deal with loneliness.
One thing they did not emphasis was how to get out and make new connections. The impermanence of life means - sometimes people we are close to move, die, get too busy or simply develop new interests we don't share - so we have to continuously work on building new connections. Here is another article
from Happify on how to make new friends as an adult.
