I grew up in the middle of my two loving two parents, my ever loving granny, and my two siblings who always back me up. We missed our granny in 2010. It was a great pain and it took years to resume my life as before. Then my sister got married and moved to live separately. And I got married and moved thousands of miles away from my country. My brother now a grown up man and having a really tide schedule with his carrier, most of the times he is out of house. My parents will be at the home all the time. Members of the family are going with their goals. This is the reality of each family.
When we were asked to Work From Home during the pandemic, some of my co-workers couldn’t be at home. They were looking for a companion and came to the office even though it was limited. They wanted to seek energy from others.
The pandemic showed us a new dimension of “loneliness”. You could see your circle, but you could not touch them, you could not have face to face talks, you could not hug them and share emotions.
So can we always suck energy from others and quench the thirst of loneliness depending on others all the time?
How do you feel loneliness
We are exposed to this throughout our lifetime. Sometimes loneliness is not the same as being alone. You may feel fine without much contact with the outside world. So loneliness is something we have created by ourselves. It is personalized and vary from one to another. Anything could make you feel lonely. And it is self-made always. Since it is self-made coping with loneliness is not an easy task at all.
Loneliness is powerful because you are not prepared for it.
The reality is that the time Being “alone” becomes your reality. Everyone is busy with what they are going through. And the physical connections might fade away. And since you are not expected to be alone, you suffer a lot. So the best thing is to foresee the bitter truth and get accustomed to it.
Are you prepared for it
Loneliness is possible at any phase of your life. It is something hard to define always. You might feel “loneliness” even in a relationship. All you have to do is preparing for it. One of my friends, once told me the way she is handling loneliness. Her simple answer was,”date yourself”. Google might suggest you hundred of ways in order to avoid loneliness, including switching in to a hobby, getting a pet, finding new people and lot more stuffs. But the most wonderful and the most trust worthy option all among them is “knowing yourself and dating yourself” . Seeking energy from others is good but not all the time, because we don’t know how successful is it. But you can keep trust on you.” What a great thought.
How do you deal with the Loneliness? What are the ways you are practicing?
