LOH123 CONTEST- WHY MANY ARE LONELY

avatar
(Edited)

Greetings to all the beautiful ladies. For this week's contest, I will be answering the first question:

Why are there so many people who are lonely? Why is it so hard for people to make real connections when almost everyone wants to make real connections?

Why are there so many people who are lonely?

The complexity of loneliness can be said to be accompanied with the isolation in this modern Life. It is very hard to maintain close relationships because people prefer to live in a secluded household and spend time alone with family.

There are so many reasons why there are lots of people who are lonely. These reasons include:

Low self esteem: Low self-esteem people struggle with feelings of insecurity which makes it difficult for them to connect with others. Low self esteem people limit their interaction with others which can contribute to feelings of loneliness.

Lack of meaningful relationships can cause loneliness because when one does not have a close relationship with others, he may feel isolated. When one expects to see trust, mutual understanding, physical a. D emotional support etc which are characteristics meaning relationships should have. When these are lacking, one feels there is no sense of purpose and does not have one to share life experience, happiness, joy and sadness.

Digitalization has changed the way people interact with one another. Social media can create a false sense of connection and also hinders face to face communication leading to loneliness.

Depression, stress and anxiety can also lead to feelings of loneliness.

Why is it so hard for people to make real connections when almost everyone wants to make real connections?

Time constraints: Due to the busy lifestyle and how work can be demanding, these make socializing difficult.

Lack of communication skills: Some persons may have difficulty communicating effectively, making it difficult for them to initiate or maintain conversations or relationships.

Also lack of meaningful relationships can be the result of incompatibility. When two people are not compatible with each other to make their relationship work.

Loneliness is a natural thing in life. It is an emotion which is normal as far as human beings are concerned. Hanging out with friends and family can help one struggling with loneliness.

We've come a long way from living in groups of small tribes in nature, to where we are now, living in 500 square foot boxes in concrete buildings, communicating with friends and loved ones via text and stickers haha. It's no wonder a lot of people are feeling lonely these days.

That is very correct. In as much as technologies have made lives easier in so many ways, they have also created obstacles when it comes to building meaningful social connections. Inter person communication is no longer what it used to be in the time of old.

Thanks darling for your insightful comment and accept my apologies for late response.

I see that could be a reason too... People are too busy with their lives that they don't connect with others and this in turn causes loneliness for some people.

I've once let low self esteem over take me, it wasn't a good feeling at all... It takes one's happiness away.

Thanks for participating, all the bestb

Building meaning relationship with others is something that requires time and effort but it is beneficial for one's wellbeing.

Low self-esteem is very bad, it takes away one's confidence and makes one timid. It's inspiring to see that you have been able to overcome it and it's now something of the past and an experience to teach others from.

We look for compatibility to be attached to someone and if that misses out we do feel lonely or rather I can also say that we prefer to be lonely. True, there are many reasons for loneliness. if one is happy then it's ok, but if it leads to issues like depression and anxiety then help is needed
