The fight OFF loneliness

I do not want to think I am the only person in the world who feels so lonely and sad when not around people or activities.

I want to think I love engaging in different kinds of activities and because I am a social being, I find myself belonging to every group around me. I love working, I just love doing stuffs outside the house, staying at home for a whole day is like sickness to me.

Every now and then I pray to have the heart to love everyone and anyone, but sometimes it feels  like I am either  not praying enough or I am not making the right request, only recently did I realize that I needed to love myself first then extend to others. I am glad I know the right request to table to God now.

Lesli Musicar, Toronto-based counsellor and psychotherapist, says that many people don’t admit they suffer from loneliness just like me.

“A lot of people who feel lonely, you’d never suspect in a million years,” she says. “They might go out a lot, or be highly social, but their interactions stay mainly on the surface. So even though they may give the impression of being popular, those people may be feeling very lonely underneath it all because they aren’t letting people get close to them.”
