Loneliness; Finding It Difficult To Make Connections With People[LOH CONTEST #123]
If we take a closer look at this, you know, people who are prone to feeling lonely have probably tried to connect with someone or engage in conversation at some point, but it doesn't seem to be working for them; they want to explore, meet new people, and all of that, but they still end up feeling lonely. Loneliness is a complicated and confusing experience that may be impacted by a variety of circumstances, that is, it has numerous causes, and some of these typical elements/reasons why some people are lonely include social isolation, a lack of meaningful connections, feeling disconnected from others, and so on.
Despite what is said, there are people who have a large social connection but still experience loneliness. Admittedly, I am that way, and I'm not sure why. Several other potential causes of loneliness include individual circumstances like living alone, a lack of social skills, mental health conditions, physical limitations that prevent social connection, etc.
For instance, when it comes to isolation, I value my alone time more than socializing or going out with friends. I don't know why, but I tend to like it that way. If I engage with someone effectively and efficiently, you are either a close friend or a part of my family. People find it odd and blatantly tell me that I'm some kind of freak who would definitely pass away in my room one day. This act of mine has in some way caused me to lose several friendships. I occasionally tear in my room while thinking about how I am not good enough and other odd things.
You know, negative self-talk may damage a person's self-esteem and make it more difficult for them to build connections with other people. A person may feel they are undeserving of love and connection if they have a poor self-image, which may make it challenging for them to put themselves out there and build connections. And it is because of this that the majority of us are lonely.
However for some people, forming genuine connections with others may be difficult since it calls for openness and the capacity for deep relationships. Many individuals have social anxiety, fear of being rejected, or low self-esteem in social situations, which may make it challenging to start and maintain relationships. They would want to connect or communicate with others, yet they are often too nervous to do so.
However, it is more difficult to establish and sustain long-lasting relationships in today's society.
Technology and social media have produced a false feeling of connection since they do not replace the advantages of face-to-face conversation, and the next thing you know, you're losing bonds with people.
Also, the majority of people's loneliness may be brought on by the fact that they have less free time as a result of their jobs and other commitments, which makes it more difficult to interact and form connections.
It's crucial to remember that building relationships with people is an ability that can be acquired and improved through time. Stepping beyond one's comfort zone, looking for chances to meet new people, and being open to sensitivity and genuine conversation may all be necessary for this.
Well, Have a good day.

I have this feeling often times.
Sometimes i want to be alone sometimes i want to associate. But i prefer staying alone to avoid hurt and disrespect. People see that as pride tho but i called that
self -respect
Well, all i can say is, what ever works for you, go for it.
True tho

Hmm shared from a person experiencing it firsthand, I think that is more deep than others just writing about it.
Well, I'm glad that you know about how you feel and you can find ways to get out of feeling lonely... It isn't a good feeling at all and being around people isn't self limiting at all, do it more often.
Thanks for participating ,all the best
!LADY
You have already used the number of tips you had for the day. Please try again tomorrow or buy more LOH tokens to send more tips.
Well, what can I say???
Don't know if i should just live with the feeling or get help..
I find myself so accustomed to being self-reliant and solitude and have relied on my immediate family and small circle of friends and my commitments lend me so little free time.
Online friendships do establish relations to a certain level but I tend to agree that meeting in person, you convey much more in nonverbal body language.

That's right. In today's society, people have somehow misinterpreted how friendship or bonds with people is meant to be due to technology and social media..
24 hours does not fit into one day. I think 1 day should be longer. When you take out things like sleep, work, food, etc., there is nothing left in the name of sociability and free time sometimes, especially if you live in a metropolis.

You might not be far from the truth though...

Hii... beautifully written...
I like to tell I am provably the most aloof and loneliest person on the world, meaning I have no real friends...shrugs...
But I don't feel lonely all the time... I did earlier...
You have to be comfortable and accept how you are...
I always get abandened in relationships so I actually don't form bonds and don't want to...
Still, I do have meaningful conversations, and used to go to events, volunteering and was able to kind of bond with people who have similar quests like you for society at large.
Now, I am completely not seeing people, 1 or 2 come and talk but they are like people I see exercising outside ...
I have a toxic family... all my life they have kept me like someone they need to keep alive as I am their flesh and blood, but there is no love, trust and understanding...
My health often fails...
and past haunts...
I have been raged and slow and branded as stupid, slow, and mentally retarded and even now many people think I am not normal...
shrugs... also I have fear and anxiety because my country is one of the most women unfriendly spaces, so I had no mobility to explore world on my own, and since I had no friends , could not live life seeing much of the outside world...
so i been aloof... unnloved... abnormal... and burden... and loser... several tags man...
In the end, you have to improve yourself, your thoughts, attitudes, develope courage, empathy...etc...
(: ... post my parents death, I will be all alone, I wonder how it will be, will I be lonely or free...???
shrugs... anyway... I am sure you will find real people who like and value you for what you are... as for me, I am not interested in that... I don't believe in love and relationships anyway...they are an illusion for me atleast.
I provably don't deserve to be loved, free etc, but I am happy also in my ways...
anyway... I don't feel lonely or crave for people anymore!!! Period
Also, about online stuff... I absolutely disagree, I agree relationships can't be formed online...
but even then it helps people who are otherwise isolated to have some interaction and updates... I love sharing news articles to people I know somehow, not necessarily meet all of them...
we share our opinions...
I share some of my dog and cat articles to people I have not seen but know that they love pets and animals baased on their interactions on wats up groups...
During Covid , I got a lot of help and support from people I have not seen... but we know each other through interactions in wats up groups...
COmmunity helps... definitely its good idea to join some group - any group - volunteering, trekking... some interaction is there it helps a lot, and it opens the door to start a relationship... although I will never ever, want to be in relationship of any sort with anyone, other than my cats and park dogs who give me company daily as I exercise.
life is still fun its way at times...however it sucks...there is always something good, noble... and there is always hope
It is best to have few relations and genuine ones these days. So much of fake exists and you can make out and you want to be away from all of that. I feel that such loneliness is healthy
