Ways to help with loneliness |
Here @Bodalia shares advice about overcoming loneliness.
"I wish I knew this earlier...
Having lots of friends or people in our life doesn’t mean we won’t feel lonely. Loneliness is also closely linked to having low self-esteem and self-confidence.
Yes, we need to build our social connections to feel more fulfilled, but we also need to become comfortable in our own company.
How do we do this?
Focus on activities you can do by yourself and with other people.
I love to plan ahead with friends and this gives me something to look forward to, reducing current feelings of loneliness (especially in this darker, colder weather).
There is some helpful advice on the Every Mind Matters section of the NHS website so make sure you check that out!"
