We sometimes feel lonely. Loneliness is often a feeling because it is possible to feel lonely even among a group of people. Everyone feels lonely in their own way, for example, when I can’t share my thoughts or realize that someone close to me doesn’t understand me. Basically, we feel lonely when the expected number of social interactions does not match the real number.
- Continuous loneliness creates the foundation for depression and endangers a person's mental health. Even though we are busy, it is difficult for us to know whether we are lonely or not. The feeling of loneliness is not always "resounding" enough to make us "hear" it. Often, it disguises as a sign of innocentness that you may miss.
