PREVENTING AND OVERCOMING LONELINESS

Overcoming loneliness is not easy as loneliness depends entirely on the subjective quality of your relationships on whether you feel emotionally and/or socially disconnected from those around you.

When married couples no longer share their deepest feelings, thoughts, and experiences with one another it can leave them feeling disconnected and alone.

People in such relationships truly believe their spouse cannot offer them the deep connection they would like. While their fears might be correct, they might also stem from the fact that.

There are persons who do not mind being alone. They engage in occasional social contracts and enjoy the independence and freedom of being alone. However, loneliness is a source of pain and imbalance to many.

According to ncbi on complexity of loneliness; Loneliness is usually considered to be the psychological exhibition of social segregation, a reflection of the dissatisfaction the individual experiences regarding the frequency and closeness of his or her social contacts or the divergence between the relationships they have and the relationships they would like to have.

There is also a discussion that culture plays a role in loneliness or it triggers it in some way. This is because migrants can suffer from loneliness due to missing their home culture.
