Hey everyone, and welcome to TopThink! Today, we're going to learn about 4 reasons why you feel so alone.
Now, let's begin. "You are not alone."
You might have heard or read this phrase somewhere before. We say it to comfort or shoulder someone else's pain to relieve that suffocating feeling of heartache and isolation.
When you're picking up the pieces after a breakup or dealing with a loss of a loved one, you may feel like you've fallen into a dark hole with no way out. Loneliness can consume your entire life if you let it.
It can overshadow your work, cloud your goals and leave you feeling aimless. It can rob you of the joy you'd get from fun things, like your passions and hobbies.
But the truth is you're not alone in feeling lonely. Loneliness is a universal problem.
It can affect people of any gender, age or status. You can't buy a cure, nor can you pretend it doesn't exist, like depression or anxiety.
Feeling lonely is something you can't control. In fact, loneliness is so powerful that it can cause you physical pain.
It can make your muscles ache, tie your stomach in knots and ruin your sleep. It's even one of the leading contributors to chronic diseases, like Alzheimer's and heart disease.
My point is loneliness is a real and overwhelming problem that many people struggle with every day. But you're not doomed to sit in this dark hole for the rest of your life.
