Each person experiences the feeling of loneliness differently. For some, this is a long-awaited solitude, for others - a dreary feeling of emptiness. Even living in a family, you can constantly feel lonely. Why?

It has long been known that residents of megacities feel lonely more often than others, and, as a rule, they have every minute scheduled and there is almost no time for rest. Perhaps the reason for loneliness lies in the lack of communication with those people who are truly dear to them. After all, in order to call a loved one in the evening, you will have to sacrifice urgent household chores, and for many this is impossible. So it turns out that a joint trip to a cafe or a visit to visit has to be planned a month in advance. Thus, people gradually move away from each other, lose points of contact and plunge headlong into their own worries and problems.

Rice. Loneliness among people: how to escape from it?

It happens that the feeling of loneliness is an original way to attract attention. When a wife tells her husband that she is lonely and no one has talked heart to heart with her for a long time, this is a hint that she wants a little more attention, support, complicity. Men, for the most part, do not know how to read between the lines and hear only what they are told, so they get off with general phrases, without trying to delve into the details. Spouses, sometimes, even have no time to talk, and often the conversation is limited quick fix pressing problems and planning for the next day. Gradually, the husband and wife move away from each other, so family people are by no means devoid of loneliness.

If the family is strong and the atmosphere in the house is healthy, there is nothing to be afraid of. The feeling of loneliness in this case is temporary, and the spouses just need to relax together and talk enough with each other. It is not bad to occupy yourself with a common cause or get out of the house more often, changing routes. It's not worth picking on the little things. If close person forgot to call, this does not mean that he showed indifference. A vest from a spouse, into which you can constantly cry, should not be done either. It is sometimes necessary to pour out one's soul, but constantly whining, demanding attention, a very stupid position.

The family should be interesting for both adults and children. Costs . You can organize a family holiday with surprises and competitions. Let new traditions appear in the family, for example, discussing the past day at dinner. The more people get to know each other, the stronger and more reverent the relationship.

Psychologists say that people with certain character traits feel lonely more often than others: suspicious, intractable, considering themselves unique. There are those who experience only in complete solitude. It is worth taking a closer look at yourself and your family members: sometimes others and the person himself is not at all to blame for the feeling of loneliness. The inherent traits of character themselves are conducive to choosing a lonely life or a life with a minimum number of people. It is impossible to fix such a person, so you have to adapt and make life as comfortable as possible for everyone.

The sooner a person gets to know himself, the easier it will be for him in life. After all, having known yourself, it is worth trying to do everything possible so that your own character traits do not become an unbearable burden for other family members.

There is nothing - I invented everything,
I invented myself, the whole world is mine.
And the sound of footsteps echoes to me with a rumble,
Will return back to my empty world.

I choked on emptiness
I myself will soon become her.
And I no longer live a dream
Faceless, in the crowd I am among the people.

I couldn't leave anything
Empty will become empty.
Time erases all memory
Erase the trace of my life.

The soul is immortal and fatigue,
It accumulated from the ways.
And the world does not feel pity for her,
There will be no rest in it for her.

There is nothing - I invented everything ...

I am alone among people.
I am lonely among friends.
I am lonely among my friends.
One around, though around:
I am a good honest citizen
In the family I am a good family man,
For a friend, I am a reliable friend
And there are no enemies of my district.

But why am I unsociable?
And why am I not loved?!

There is no eternal memory and glory,
There are big words of deceit and lies.
Life and death is a sacred right,
Don't disturb the departed with lies.

No names are loud or quiet
We are all equal before God.
There are no small and great people,
We are given different fates.

No nobility of birth
We are all from the human tribe.
All of the same origin
We are from different families.

There are no valuable and secondary,
Everything is important to the Universe.
And the lives of us - ordinary,
He, like the nobles, needs.

Nothing lasts forever among people
And death...

Alas, among people, few people care for some reason
that well-known and stubborn fact,
that along with feelings and thoughts
all their inner content is written on their face.

Any of the crude, complex mechanisms
in fact, only multiplies lies
about the limited internal reserves of man.

If you think about it
all their own actions and even the moods of people
still cannot be considered
exclusively their "personal business".

Every time, like soldered into the wall, the doors to the future
in front of a person...

Everything is empty! I'm sick of this world
With his disassembly and graters in a circle,
Where you no longer trust even a friend,
Where your idol is personally in trouble with the law!

And like sequins everywhere, but it's dark in the soul,
And it seems there is money, but there is simply no peace,
And less often it is possible to get out of the binge,
Like a bittern from a thicket of marsh reeds.

And there was childhood and a gang of friends
Even in the Soviet, our perished, Union.
But Gorbachev said that we are in his burden,
And he ruined all socialism as soon as possible.

Down with all the factories, factories...

Loneliness in the eyes of fatigue.
And the wait - when will it pass ?!
Not! - Lonely does not need pity.
Only those who have lived it will truly understand.

It happens that living among people will be lonely.
Around the crowd, and among them he is unnecessary to anyone.
And it seems walking next to incomprehensible and distant.
And the path is difficult when you go through life through the crowd.

And hearts get tired of lies in love and friendship.
Do not lose faith, only a friend, please in everything.
It happens. - And you just have to endure it all.
And find the strength...

I'm not silent, I'm screaming
But I hear silence.
I crash on the fly
I just fall into darkness.

Tears hurt my eyes,
But I will endure all the pain
I'm shivering from the cold
And melt on the fly.

All around me is emptiness
There is no one, although I am
Among people, I stand alone
In a hot flame of fire.

This state occurs when you are convinced (and this belief can be true or deceptive) that there is not a single person in the whole world who understands and appreciates you. You climb into your shell, cutting off all contact with the outside world, except for the most necessary. After work, you return to an empty apartment and spend the evening alone. At night, you wake up from the slightest rustle. You freeze in horror: suddenly there is someone in the room? And at the same time, you are horrified at the thought that there is no one here and cannot be.

Such loneliness is one of the most difficult sensations that a person can experience. Isolation from the outside world makes you desperate and nothing seems to help you. But even in this state, you can find a positive side. When suffering reaches critical point and become almost unbearable, this often becomes a very strong motivation for getting out into the world and starting over.

During a storm, any harbor is good. Communication is as necessary for the human soul as oxygen is for the body. We all dream of passionate love and friendship for all time, but if now these dreams seem unattainable, you

Any communication would be helpful. Even if you have a few words with the seller in the store or go for salt to a neighbor, this will help you maintain contact with the outside world.

When you feel lost and abandoned, use every opportunity to connect. For a lonely person, a completely random acquaintance at first glance often becomes the straw that helps to escape. If possible, contact a psychotherapist or sign up for group classes.

Change yourself.

Loneliness is a great engine of progress. To get rid of this unpleasant feeling, we can overcome our complexes, shyness, self-doubt. Do you feel awkward in the company of unfamiliar people? Very good. Be shy, worry, if necessary, even cry and go through your entire wardrobe. And then pull yourself together, get dressed, comb your hair and go out to people. Do it, whatever the cost.

Most The best way connect - try to understand the people around you and help them understand you. Some communication techniques may also be helpful. For example, a trouble-free reception when meeting people is to ask people questions, because few people can resist the temptation to talk about themselves, their loved ones.

It is unlikely that the first person you meet will be exactly the person you have been looking for all your life. But somewhere, there are probably people who, just like you, are looking for someone with whom you can talk heart to heart. Do not despair. You will definitely find each other. But only if you search.

Forced loneliness

This can happen even to those who are usually surrounded by loving relatives and true friends. Sometimes circumstances are such that you have to move - temporarily or permanently. Because of work, health, as a result of marriage, in the end. And then, suddenly finding yourself away from loved ones, you feel abandoned and alone.

If you broke up for a while, tell yourself: it's just wonderful that I have someone to miss. Spending time alone will help you realize love and show your loved ones how much you care about them. After all, in normal situation people often don't even tell each other about their feelings, taking it for granted. When you are separated, feelings are heightened. Modern technologies allow you to keep in touch at any distance - telephone and Internet around the clock at your disposal. Talk about what is happening to you, write letters. It may very well be that you will be able to get to know people you have known for a long time from a new perspective. And finally, don't forget folk wisdom: If you can't be around those you love, love those around you.

Change yourself.

If life circumstances separated you from your loved ones for a long time, you have a difficult decision ahead of you. And yet you need to accept it and determine what is more important for you: the circumstances that keep you away from loved ones, or the people close to you themselves. Sometimes it turns out that even the most brilliant career in the capital or abroad is not worth parting with those you love. It happens that for the sake of loved ones you have to forget your pride, ambitions and

even what previously seemed an unshakable life principle. Each new day opens up new opportunities. And it's up to you how you manage them.

Loneliness in the face of death

A person comes into this world alone and leaves alone. This is the law of nature, and no miraculous medicines can save us from loss and separation. When someone close to you leaves forever, explanations and consolations do not help. Suddenly, you find yourself in the face of a terrible force that you cannot resist. And any words are useless.

Since ancient times, people, faced with love and death, called on art to help. They sang, composed stories, covered the walls of their dwellings with bizarre patterns. Art can help you too. Read, watch movies, go to exhibitions, listen to music. By and large, the entire centuries-old culture of mankind is an appeal to unattainable lovers. And, perhaps, the very feeling of belonging to eternal values ​​will help you.

Change yourself.

If before that you enjoyed what others have created, try to create yourself. Even if you have never been creative, take a chance. Dance, draw, write, embroider, sing, learn to play musical instruments. Most likely, you will not reach the heights of Picasso and become Mozart. But be sure to find a way to express your feelings. And this is the first and most important step towards accepting what happened and moving on, keeping in your heart the image of someone who is truly dear to you.

Why is no one getting close to you?

1 You are unfriendly. If you smile at your acquaintances, look into their eyes, speak kindly, then you are taking a step towards rapprochement.

2 You are not talkative. Maybe you don't keep up the conversation because you're tired or just shy, but the other person thinks you're bored and decides to leave you alone.

3 You are too arrogant. Very often lonely are people who value themselves very highly. And therefore it is difficult for them to communicate with someone on an equal footing. There is no doubt, one should appreciate one's own merits. But still, building relationships on the fact that others are worse than you is also not an option.

4 You talk a lot and listen little. Ideally, the interlocutors should talk and listen for approximately the same amount of time.

Test

Is loneliness a disease?

Sometimes reluctance to be in society can be a symptom of the so-called social fear syndrome. When communicating, do you often worry that you might offend or humiliate others? If you have an important meeting or conversation ahead of you, do you start to worry a few days in advance? Do you feel jittery, blush, or sweat while talking? If you answered “yes” to these questions, seek professional help.

Loneliness is one of the most painful human conditions. And yet, if at the moment you communicate with people less than you would like, do not despair. There are situations when loneliness is very useful: it gives you the opportunity to collect your thoughts, assess the situation, develop a plan for the future. Animals always lick their wounds alone - this is what nature has decreed.

Sometimes loneliness can be deceiving. It seems to you that not a single soul can understand you, but in fact you just don’t yet know how to explain to others what exactly you expect from them. People can't read minds. A frank conversation can change a lot.

These days, people have more ways to connect than ever before. Telephone, Internet, mobile systems allow you to contact anyone anywhere in the world. But, despite these opportunities, lonely people are not becoming less among people. If you're recently divorced, you probably feel lonely. The most important thing in this situation is not to rush as soon as possible in search of a new contender for the hand and heart. You run the risk of starting a series of hasty romances that leave nothing but a feeling of emptiness. Take your time, everything will come in due time. A new love is worth the wait

Greetings, dear readers! Today I will tell you how to get rid of the feeling of loneliness. And should I get rid of it. And also - how to live with it.

You don't have close people? Do you need friends? Do you want to start a family and have children? Do you think that no one needs in this life?

Such questions can be asked endlessly. And almost all of them will respond to your soul. Agree or disagree, but they will respond. This topic is more than close to me, because I experienced both more ups and downs corresponding to them. He was rich and was left without a livelihood. And I know how to live in forced loneliness, and how to organize my life in such a way as to get rid of loneliness.

Why does loneliness happen

Let's think - how did it happen that there is emptiness around you, and you live with a feeling of loneliness? Do people not want to be around you or do you not feel like getting close to those around you? Do they not understand you? Or do you not understand them?

In society

It is unlikely that you live in a dense forest and there are a lot of people around you. So, either they shun you, or they do not suit you in some way.

Almost all of our problems are related to people in one way or another. It's all about them. And the problem of loneliness, oddly enough, also arises because of people. And not because they don't exist.

Do you know what I'm leading you to?

To the fact that loneliness among people, and not without them, depresses the most. There are always a lot of people around. People are completely different. Therefore, it is not necessary to say that the fault of your condition is in them.

The problem lies precisely in your communication capabilities. And task number one is to resolve precisely this aspect of it.

In your soul

You can also argue like this: you think that it is your environment that does not fit exactly with you. Well ... here they are some other. Not like you.

And how to find with them mutual language, if the interests are different, the values ​​are different, different goals or views on acceptable ways to achieve them. How can you get along with them? Yes, I just don't want to do it! Among such people it is impossible to find either like-minded people at work, or comrades for interests outside of work, or a loved one.

In such an environment, you will inevitably reach the point where you begin to enjoy loneliness.

This situation is one of the most common. And the answer here is obvious: show courage, activity and expand your circle of contacts. Water does not run under a lying stone.

Or maybe it makes sense to still try to understand the people who are already close to you? Take a closer look - why their interests and desires have developed this way. After all, there is a good reason behind their aspirations. Perhaps you just don't see it?

And then it is worth expanding not the circle of communication, but the sphere of communication within the already established circle. Do you yourself show a sincere interest in the people around you, or do you consider only your own person worthy of this?

How to deal with loneliness

• Get to know people better and amazing discoveries await you. Find those points of convergence of interests that will be mutually beneficial. And even if you do not become close people, but the void will begin to fill. Here's how you can get rid of longing and loneliness.
• By the way, close people do not have to have a lot. Favorite person and a couple of good reliable friends. Everything else is the intersection of point interests of varying degrees of remoteness. Ouuuh! You try to find enough time even for such a seemingly limited contingent. After all, all these people need to be given equal attention. Haven't forgotten about it?
• Do you know what is the surest way to organize - and how to enjoy loneliness and how to overcome loneliness for the rest of your life? Find one - a loved one, give birth to children and raise them properly. Exactly. And you will enjoy being alone. Why? Yes, because you will know for sure that it is short-lived and very conditional.
• By the way, tell yourself: how much time do you spend on creating your circle of close people? One hour, ten minutes, a week - a month? Exactly. Not at all. And what do you want after that? A person can only surround himself with things that he likes, with people to whom he is dear and with appropriate attitudes towards them and with them. No one will do it for you and all this will not come by itself. It's the same as not working and sitting around waiting for a wealthy relative, unknown to you before, to suddenly appear, who will die at the right time and leave you a rich inheritance. You will not spend your life in such fruitless expectations. You will die quickly. From hunger. Much faster than being alone. And the principle is the same.
• Anticipate objections and anticipate them. Let's say you drive more than active life, go to many places and communicate with countless people. But you don't have any friends or a loved one. Loneliness among people. Yes. This happens often. My personal opinion is this: in this particular case, the problem with a huge degree of probability lies precisely in you. If a lot of people go through communication with you and none of them become your friend, I'm not talking about closer relationships - this is a serious reason to think and look at yourself. And you probably don't care at all. And depression. And it's not a sin

Every time I start to suffer from the fact that I'm tired of being alone, one of the people will definitely start talking to me. And it turns out that - no. Not tired yet."

• If you are single, accept it. Like a weather phenomenon. And as a reason to change yourself and the environment. I hope that you understand the difference between the concepts: "accept" and "reconcile". This is not to be confused.

How dangerous is loneliness

Question: What does loneliness lead to ”is a question for specialists. So let's turn to them and see what psychologists and doctors of other areas tell us about this.

Definitely installed Negative influence loneliness on the mental and physical health person. A certain psychological “contagiousness” of loneliness has been revealed.

All this was the reason why doctors of almost all clinical specializations began to deal with this problem and explore the relationship between the negative states of their patients and loneliness.

1. Loneliness provokes an increase in the level of stress hormones. An increase in the level of these hormones, in turn, increases the risk of diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, dementia, cardiovascular problems, etc.
2. Lonely people have reduced social functioning. It would seem that daily procedures that are common and obligatory for a normal life, such as: putting things in order in the apartment, brushing teeth, and in general - any hygiene procedures, even cooking - become uninteresting to them and lose their meaning. The person falls both psychologically and physically.
3. It must be understood that social isolation and loneliness carry an equivalent danger, but do not necessarily accompany each other. Lack of social ties -objectively. For example, a person lives for a very long time, his relatives and friends have died, and it is no longer possible to start a new circle of friends, even for health reasons. Loneliness is a purely subjective attitude to the situation. Loneliness among people is a common phenomenon. The main reason for this is the discrepancy between expectations and reality. Thus, large-scale studies conducted, of which there were more than 70 in different countries and they reached almost 3.5 million people, showed unexpected results: young people are at the peak of loneliness. And the age group over 65 years of age is significantly less prone to loneliness than the younger one.
4. Also, the results of recent studies have shown that loneliness is a fairly accurate preclinical sign of Alzheimer's disease.
5. In the logical chain: loneliness - depression, it is worth noting that in these circumstances the work of the mental apparatus is disrupted. Can you imagine what risk arises if, for example, the pilot of an aircraft is in such a state?

Subscribe to updates and write comments, this is already a small victory over loneliness. And I am always glad to my readers.
