Loneliness is a poorly understood problem that, shockingly, affects not only the individual but also the society, & consequently the entire system, & mankind, all at the same time!

Today is Colour The World Orange Day, this day is dedicated to creating awareness for an illness that is still poorly misunderstood, providing support to those affected, and educating the world about its existence.

In conversations with my seekers, I found a lot of them to be lonely.

I usually ask them how many friends do they have in real life? 

The usual answer is “many”

I ask them to tell me in numbers, like one... two... three...

I go deeper and ask them, how many of them are close to you, or with how many are you close to?

Now the responses are interesting, interesting because now they start realizing things.

We all at times live under the impression that we have a lot of friends/supporting people... maybe they are not what you expect them to be, now don’t go in any direction, for a moment don’t think much as...

What I wanna tell you is that the majority of your relationships/friends you are having could be in QUANTITY!

Have you thought about building quality relationships or you were busy making CONNECTIONS?

You need to focus on having QUALITY relationships!

I have a quote:

“You will be a part of loads of relationships in this world, consider and prioritize only the healthy ones!”

Start focusing on building QUALITY relationships with YOURSELF and with others.

Now as I talked about quality relationships, seekers are going to come with queries like how to find quality relationships in this world, my response would be:

I also talked about building a quality relationship with ourselves, first!

So, tell me, how’s the progress of building a quality relationship with yourself?

If you have these 2 quality relationships, one that is with yourself and one that is with the significant other, you can live your life without experiencing the chronic feeling of loneliness, and as I mentioned the "significant other" doesn’t start looking/hoping for that “one” person who would come to your life!

Start building a quality relationship with yourself first, befriend yourself, and take care of yourself as a good caretaker...

Very recently a seeker came to me and asked me, why do people love when they know it gonna hurt them?

The question was interesting!

I always wanted to talk about loneliness on a large scale.

I often interact with my seekers on this topic and we work on various things, one of them is building a SOCIAL SUPPORT GROUP for them.

We are social human beings and it's so important for us to be social, not only to live and survive in society but also to self-regulate ourselves.

Being able to self-regulate our emotions and behavior is a large part of what makes us human and we can’t do that alone, always!

We need to take the help of our people/friends and even at times professionals to learn to manage and regulate our emotions.

Emotions are part of our day-to-day life and we shall not ignore/suppress/repress them, in reality, we can’t even for long, so why try to do that in the first place?

Being alone is different and being lonely is different.

When you are alone you are with yourself, you enjoying your own company, you working on things at times yourself, that’s productive.

Being lonely is like silently craving for QUALITY relationships, accompanied by a lot of unhealthy patterns which makes loneliness one of the reasons for a lot of Mental Illnesses.

So, take loneliness seriously, if you know any of your friend/acquaintance who is going through this phase help by educating them, and supporting them...

Working on your mental and emotional health will never let you down; you will always be a better person than you were before
