Loneliness could be defined as:
The sadness of having no friends or company – Google
Another word of loneliness could be isolation. At one point in our life, we feel lonely. The Google definition of loneliness does not really go with what we experience in real life. Even if we do have many people around us, we still feel lonely. Sometimes we are sitting with a group of people, we are totally involved with them in a conversation, and we still have a remote feeling. Sometimes we feel like we don’t belong there or sometimes we feel its all fake. Sometimes overthinking make us feel lonely. However, in other cases, I think there are whole process and a couple of small things that add up and makes us feel distinct. I am sure it might happen to you at some point in your life.
There are multiple situations, which make us feel lonely, sometimes when we hang out with our friends, have a good time, we feel lonely. Maybe because when we spend too much time surrounded by people and little alone time makes us start thinking irrationally and end up feeling distinct. We are social animals, without communication we cannot survive, will practically go mad. There is a myth that the only introvert feels lonely, but according to me, it is the opposite. Extroverts have a need to constantly communicate with others, they are usually outspoken. This might develop a situation where they don't get the desired reaction from others.This leads them overthinking stuff and feel loneliness. That is the reason why when the people who all are very outspoken still goes through a severe depression.
On the other hand, the case is different for introverts. Not every introvert go through loneliness. Though they have a small friend circle and they don’t get mingle quickly. When we observe them closely, they keep themselves busy. In fact, over time, they start developing low confidence and communicating with others might give them a headache.
Summarizing in the article we could safely say that the reason behind this horrible feeling of loneliness could be an extensive need for communicating. That is the reason why social media makes us feel lonely. We would have hundreds and thousands of followers on our social media sites and we would still feel lonely.
What we could do is engage ourselves; it does not always have to be productive. It simply could be reading a cliché book or starting a new series. While keeping our mind engage we don’t overthink and also does not create a situation which doesn’t even exist. In addition, the extensive need for having a conversation will also decrease.
Every site on the internet or every person you contact with regarding this, they all would convey the same solution in some way or the other. I emphasized on the reasons why you feel loneliness and this analysis of behavior could give very significant insights for your problems.
