Dealing with Loneliness

Spotify Podcast: I get asked a lot about how to deal with loneliness. Unfortunately, like many others, there were times in my life when I felt lonely, deserted, and isolated. Here are my thoughts on dealing with loneliness. I mention in the video that it’s probably not necessarily our fault if we’re lonely. The way our society is constructed has us further apart than we’ve been in the past. The benefit of this is that there are places you can find like-minded people and form connections! On the other hand... Sometimes it is our fault. At least to some extent. It may sound harsh, but there’s a very real possibility that we may have some character flaw that seems to drive people away from us. It may be easier to think of this in terms of other people, and not ourselves. For example, there may have been an overly aggressive person from whom you’ve distanced. If this is you, that’s okay. We all have flaws. We’re all on a journey to self-improvement. Even if you’ve irrevocably angered EVERY person you’ve met (which is highly unlikely), it’s still not the end of the world. There are people you haven’t met yet that will love you. At the end of the day, we don’t need an army of friends to not be lonely. In fact, it’s entirely possible to be around many people and still lonely. There is a HUGE difference between having 1 person and having nobody. I hope this video can help some of you find that one person. Legal Notice: Consult your doctor before beginning any kind of exercise program.
