Dealing With Loneliness

If you are feeling lonely as you are reading this, you are not alone. The reason why I put this story together is because I know what it is like. Loneliness is a topic that is very close to my heart because I have been through the depths of emptiness, meaningless feelings many times and I am not new to that kind of feeling. I have felt every gripping moment of it. The long, long hours which seem like days, the lonely nights where I weep in silence, drenching my pillow salty with tears, the lack of desire to face the next day and the thought of wanting to end it all!

DONE SPECIALLY FOR YOU.

It doesn’t matter if you have a girlfriend/boyfriend, husband or wife. No matter how close you are with them, there are parts of you that they just don’t understand! The pain doesn’t fade after confiding with your best friend, your group of buddies, or even your counselor! Nobody seems to understand you yet you want them to feel your pain.

All Alone! ?

Everyone in the world has felt this emotion one time or another. Especially in these times rapid technological growth the feeling of loneliness is rapidly increasing.

Firstly, we must clarify what loneliness means. Loneliness is an emotional state. This is a state where people experience a disconnection from people around them as well as a deep feeling of emptiness, which renders their present company around them meaningless.

That person could be in a big crowd or by himself/herself, married or single, young or old. They basically find it very hard to connect with others and experience emancipation from meaningful relationships.

This is not to be confused with being alone.

Being alone does not equate to being lonely because sometimes it is good for a person to be alone and at times it could be very refreshing as the person has the opportunity to refresh, recuperate and rediscover part of our lives. What are the common symptoms of being alone, if you are reading this book? I bet you might be feeling one of these symptoms.
