Loneliness: The Ultimate Guide to become Happier

What is Loneliness?

Loneliness is complicated, although we tend to feel it every now and then. If the feeling of loneliness persists, it might also lead to many mental illnesses in the long run. The simplest way to describe loneliness is sadness because one has no friends or company. It’s nothing but a state of mind. But the truth is that you may feel lonely even when you are surrounded by people.

In my opinion, loneliness is a feeling of being trapped by your own thoughts and feelings. Many times, you don’t even know why you are feeling that way. The answers might be right in front of you, but you just couldn’t see them because you might be blinded by your current situation. I hope, you find your answers by the end of this article.

Are you happy doing what you are doing?

It’s very likely to be possible that you are doing something that you don’t really want to do and perhaps you feel a kind of disconnect with your surroundings and even with yourselves. Some people understand this earlier than others. Living in a society, we want things just because others want them or we think it might be wrong not to want them. You have to accept the fact, that no matter how many precautions you might have taken to make the right decisions in your life, it might be wrong as well. Life is all about giving and taking chances. Even machines make mistakes, let alone humans beings.

How much do you know about yourself?

In order to rectify why you are feeling the way you are, you need to know yourself. And the best way to know yourself is by having various experiences, stepping out of your comfort zone, and challenging yourself, doesn’t matter if it’s small or big. Knowing yourself also lets you have a deeper human connection with people. You must choose what you want to do rather than what you are expected to do.

We often try to follow the norms and try to do things that we feel we are obliged to do, rather than following what’s there in our hearts. That’s not called fulfillment. At the end of the day, no one has really got that much time to care about what you’re doing. Finding oneself is a lifelong journey, a never-ending adventure.

Is it just Loneliness? Envy is all you do!

Often it is inevitable to compare yourselves with others. Sometimes you might feel that it’s unfair that some people have things that you don’t. You want everyone to speak well of you and not criticize you for what you are doing. Honestly, no one is that pretty, funny, beautiful, handsome, or accomplished to think so. Since bringing someone down is much easier than bringing oneself up, people often try to criticize you. It is not because there’s something wrong with what you are doing or how you look, but the mere reason is envy.

Envy is a feeling that we tend to experience when we see someone who has something we want. Someone in this world wants to be skinny, and some people in the same world want to gain weight. People are criticized for being fat and even for being skinny. You criticize someone for achieving what you could not and you also criticize someone who’s not doing or achieving anything in life at all.

Although according to studies, envy typically declines with age, meaning, teens experience it more than adults, adults might feel a different kind of envy too. Envy is not a sign that you lack something. Viewing it in a positive light, envy gives you an opportunity for self-improvement. Also, not doing or achieving everything doesn’t make you any smaller or happier. You must learn to be happy and satisfied with what you already have. Someone, somewhere, must be envying you for having all that you have.

How can you become Happier?

Self-Care is something one must practice in order to feel less lonely. Deep down, all we want is our own friendship. You know that you’ve always got your back. Always try to compliment others every now and then. It’ll not only help them be happy, but it’s also scientifically proven that spreading happiness can make you feel happier, as well. When you interact with more people, it may be easier to find people with common interests and ideas with you. It all can ultimately help you make the true friends you might have been longing for so long!
