"Cheer Up the Lonely Day"
Loneliness is defined as a displeasing, undesirable negative feeling that results from the discrepancy between one's real social relations and one's desired social relationships.
Everybody experiences it, but a chronic feeling of loneliness is not typical of the human condition and does not need to remain typical for you.
It can occur both in the presence or absence of other people. There is nothing to feel ashamed of if you are feeling lonely. We all go through this; we all somewhere know how it feels.
We are all lonely from time to time in such phases the gift of companionship and support may not solve our problems, but it eases the burden a little, and that's what Cheer Up the Lonely Day is all about.
So, what we can do on the occasion of “Cheer Up the Lonely Day”
Cheer Up the Lonely Day is all about encouraging people to connect with others. Make time to reach out to loved ones and to anyone you might think is/could be lonely!
If you know someone who is lonely or going through a difficult time, be a bright spot in their life with a little extra thoughtfulness, at least today!
- We can call our loved ones, and have a good conversation with them.
- We can send a postcard or writing an email is a great way to get the good vibes out.
- We can plan a get-together, by taking precautions and following the current corona-pandemic guidelines!
If you are the one who is feeling lonely in the pandemic, it's okay to feel like that.
Make sure you overcome it by interacting with your close ones, putting efforts into the relationship(s), and building new relationship(s) example friendship
Whenever you are confused about starting a friendship with someone, don't say hi or hello, just smile, and see how life presents you with a precious relationship.
No one can live without a relationship. You may withdraw into the mountains, become a monk, a Sanyasi, or wander off into the desert by yourself but you are related. You can't escape from the absolute fact. You cannot exist in isolation.
Life is relationship, living is relationship.
If you do experience a chronic feeling of loneliness you may need to work on something psychologists referred to as your attachment style.
What is attachment style?
Attachment style refers to the characteristic pattern that we repeat in approaching our social interactions, it affects how we engage with others and even with ourselves.
If you are having trouble then I strongly suggest you seek professional help. You can look for Social Support Groups nearby.
Do whatever you can just make sure you are overcoming it.
