Feeling Loneliness
Implies having made a conscious choice to be alone. Loneliness
does not require aloneness and is often experienced even in crowded places. It
can be described as the absence of identification, understanding or compassion.
Causes
- People can experience loneliness
for many reasons, and many life events are associated with it.
- The lack of friendship relations
during childhood and adolescence, or the physical absence of meaningful
people around a person are causes for loneliness, depression, and
involuntary celibacy.
- At the same time loneliness may be
a symptom of another social or psychological problem.
Types
- Situational / circumstantial -
loss of a relationship, move to a new city
- Developmental - a need for
intimacy balanced by a need for individualism
- Internal - often including
feelings of low self-esteem and vulnerability
Signs & symptoms
Loneliness can evoke feelings that 'everyone else' has friends,
or that one is socially inadequate and socially unskilled. A lonely person may
become convinced there is something wrong with him or her, or that no one
understands his or her situation. Such a person may feel reluctant to attempt
to change or to try new things. In extreme cases, a person may feel a sense of
emptiness, which may become a state of clinical depression.
Effects
- Poorer
academic performance resulting from decreased self-confidence
- The
(false) assumption that others are evaluating you negatively
- Unrealistic
expectations, like thinking everyone should like or include you
- Difficulty
introducing yourself, making phone calls, or participating in group
- Activities
- Dependence
on others to build your self-esteem and initiate activities
- The
possibility of becoming more isolated, withdrawn, angry, unhappy
Become an observer
Notice when loneliness hits you (what
times of day; holidays, anniversaries, birthdays) and plan to be busy during
these times. Watch for behaviour that perpetuates your loneliness, and ways you
put up barriers to others.
Solutions
Psychological Counselling helps to
cope up with loneliness.
Treatment
There are many different ways used to treat loneliness, social
isolation or clinical depression.
- The first step that most doctors
recommend to patients is behavioural therapy.
- These treatments may include
exercise, dieting, hypnosis, psychotherapy, acupuncture, herbs, and many
others.
