Loneliness is my every day normal since childhood.

@kumaavoyo4868 Месяц назад

DEFINITION: Loneliness - Surrounded by people still feeling left alone in the world. Given not chosen. Solitude - Not surrounded by people, but feeling the whole world is within you (not seeking anything outwardly). Chosen not given. I pray that everyone lives in peace 😊

@BD06 Месяц назад

It's not specifically about living alone choosingly, it's about being alone when you don't want to, but the loophole is you can't seperate loneliness yourself.

@greasyclaybrainedfootlic Месяц назад

No one enjoys my company, that's why I'm alone.

@Salador1777 29 дней назад

That's what I would call negative self talk. Don't tell yourself such things. There's always someone out there who can enjoy your company. Sometimes we like people enough to overlook other things that might be off-putting. If you're thinking those negative thoughts you're limiting yourself and not giving people a chance to see who you are.

@starsnoireart 13 дней назад

I learned all of this the hard way! It took several years before the effects started to impact my life in a major way. It was destroying my life to the point that I couldn't ignore it anymore. Its only this year that I really started to take steps to undo all the damage that loneliness does to your psyche and body. It took some courage because like she said, the anxiety, paranoia, lack of energy, etc. it makes you want to isolate even more. The isolation may be destructive, but on the other hand, if you've been lonely for many years, you're so used to it that it just feels safe. I empathize with anyone whose suffering from loneliness and I hope that things get better for them :(

@freudbrahms254 Why do you "start to hate them" ? Do they deserve this? Maybe they are not the right "friends" for you? We all have some specific interests and maybe theirs were different?

@vikaskhanna8559 Месяц назад

"Our suffering stems from ignorance. We react because we do not know what we are doing, because we do not know the reality of ourselves. The mind spends most of the time lost in fantasies and illusions, reliving pleasant or unpleasant experiences and anticipating the future with eagerness or fear. While lost in such cravings or aversions, we are unaware of what is happening now, what we are doing now. Yet surely this moment, now, is the most important for us. We cannot live in the past; it is gone. Nor can we live in the future; it is forever beyond our grasp. We can live only in the present. If we are unaware of our present actions, we are condemned to repeating the mistakes of the past and can never succeed in attaining our dreams for the future. But if we can develop the ability to be aware of the present moment, we can use the past as a guide for ordering our actions in the future, so that we may attain our goal. Dhamma is the path of the present moment. Therefore we must develop our ability to be aware of the present moment”

¿right? i found it quite doubtfull the simptoms of the video, can be related to many other plausible causes and are relatable. Different levels of loneliness, perhaps this is on the lowest level, stroke and heart dissease might be extreme. It is not said % of people who acknowledge loneliness get this and what degree of loneliness is that. So if ur reading this dont be bothered ur probably just doing fine.

Not true for introverted people! Some people get migraine atrack after social interactions. Superficial interactions are draining. If a person is in a toxic family system in that case it'd be better to stay isolated until they relocate themselves to a safer environment, where they feel seen, heard and valued.

She might have mentioned depression and loss of appetite. I have been alone, except for work, since stupid COVID ruined my life by my friends moving out of the city, and our favorite bar closing. Many of those friends had nothing to do during the lockdown but have sex, so they all now have babies and no time to go out drinking. COVID destroyed my social life. Now when I am not working, I sit alone in the dark, in my bedroom and surf the RU-vid and stuff, looking for anything that will make me happy. It sucks.

Does he not have the power to stop that? So the all powerful thing is not real then. So he is not a god. Religion is about as good as a golf club, or a bowling league. It is actually worse in most ways, except that it does encourage civic participation in helping others. Unfortunately, it is also used by some to manipulate others into the opposite.
