RE: Overcoming Loneliness

in #psychology6 years ago

This is a very well written post on a highly topical and relatable subject @lifenbeauty. I am particularly affected by cases of lonely old people. I think it is because they have less chances of being proactive about it and follow the suggestions you shared here with us:

  • Meeting new people
  • Doing community services and so forth.

As for the younger generations, what does the future hold for them? As they continue to isolate themselves from the psychical social world?

In my opinion it is a vicious cycle, because this very isolation can be both the cause and consequence of emotional states such as low self-esteem, as you mentioned.

However, they are still the ones with greater chances of opening up their hearts and adopting a positive outlook in life :)

Thank you for this wonderful read my dear.
I wish you a great week ahead!

Thank you for commenting, my dear @abigail-dantes. I'm really glad you enjoyed the article! 😊

I remember watching in the news that, in some small villages in Serbia, the communities are paying young unemployed people to spend some time once per week with and help lonely elders with no relatives. I think that this is an awesome initiative, especially since we are among the poorer countries in Europe.

Great note about the vicious cycle of isolation from the psychical social world being both the cause and consequence of low self-esteem. There is an easy solution for breaking out of this cycle, however. The solution begins on the letter "T". : )

P.S. Congratulations on finishing the beer challenge. Cheers with (a sip from) a bottle of your favorite Letra a! 🍻 If you badly need a break (or a lifetime separation) from beer, a glass of a good wine will do. 🍷

Oh, if only more countries could implement such initiative.

I agree that young people would bennefit a lot more and enjoy much higher levels of subject well-being if they resorted to that T solution 😄.

Cheers to a new week ahead!
