What is loneliness?

Many people feel lonely from time to time. It may be when they're at school or work and there can't find the right people to talk to and share their feelings. When they move to a new city or when their friends don't have time for them. But in recent decades, this occasional feeling has become chronic for millions of people. In the UK, 46% of the entire population feel lonely regularly. We're living in a time where we're constantly connected to the world through technology, but still many people feel lonely. But are they alone? No! In fact, you won't find one person in this world who is as alone! But they may be lonely for real!

There is a simple difference between loneliness and being alone which most miss to take count of. There are two important aspects of loneliness. Firstly, loneliness is a type of feeling that appears in the Human mind when a sense of urgency to talk to someone is felt but at the moment or in that situation there seem to be no one to trust. Also, it is a feeling that tries to possess the mind when you think you are in a need of people being around you and listen to you, but there seem to be no one with you at the moment to help you out with a problem you are facing. In addition, loneliness is a purely subjective experience and if you think you are lonely, then you are lonely at the moment. On the other hand, being alone is a very dark thing. Being alone means you don't have anyone around you at the moment who is not a stranger to you and you know the person, and you also will never have anyone like that in your life anymore. If you think you are alone, then you are totally wrong! In fact, again, no one is alone in this world. If you search carefully in your life, there must be one relative you have whom you know even if all others have passed away, or a neighbor, or a friend, or a classmate, or your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend. At least there will be someone you will find later in your life whom you can freely talk to and trust. Although we call this world cruel, even in it's excessive cruelty we still find true friendship, true love, true care and so on. This world is also filled with hospitality which doesn't allow anyone to be alone. So, throw the thought which lies to you that you are alone!

You may not be alone, but lonely! How can the problem of loneliness be solved? A common stereotype of loneliness is that being lonely generally happens to most people who don't know how to behave around others or talk to other people. However, population-based studies have shown that social skills make practically no difference for most adults when it comes to social connections . Loneliness is described as a bodily function, like hunger. Hunger make you pay attention to your physical needs; loneliness makes you pay attention to your social needs. Being social is really important in this world and if you are not, then you should start from today! It is never late to start working for yourself to make a better version of yourself!

Loneliness is just a thing that is in your brain. Your brain is an organ. So why let an organ rule over you totally? Why don't you try forcing rule over your brain? Whenever you want to get rid of feeling lonely, if you force your brain every time not to develop that feeling and forget that there is such a feeling in existence, then your brain will adapt to it as well as listening to your desires rather than doing whatever it wants to do. In addition, sometimes to not feel lonely, fool your brain! Engage yourself with some work which will keep you busy and keep your brain away from thinking about loneliness.

Train your brain you way! It is bound to listen to you. Then, not only the problem of loneliness, but most other problems in your life will vanish. However, everything takes time. So be patient until the magic happens!
