Loneliness can be as much about being isolated from our own self as it is about feeling isolated from people and places. So, is it possible to remove the feeling of loneliness?
The answer is yes, of course!
But how?
Just remember — you may feel lonely but chances are you are not alone, nor you are you the only one feeling lonely in this whole world. So step out of your comfort zone and actively build healthy relationships. There is a whole world out there — a world of billions!
Smile more and see what a difference it makes. Reduce the time you spend online! Another effective way to break the pattern of loneliness is volunteering and helping others. Get out there, do something that would make people happy! But make sure to leave some time for yourself because loneliness is really about you being disconnected from yourself.
So, get better at being alone without being lonely. Create some ‘alone time’ with your inner-self. It is the time spent with oneself that helps one to grow spiritually from within and empower oneself.
Being alone is healthy but spending all your tome alone in a state of loneliness isn’t. So remember, alone does not mean lonely. Alone means to feel comfortable in your own skin, to accept as you are and being your own best friend.
