Are you lonely? If so, you’re not alone. Recent survey finds that 61% of Americans suffer from chronic loneliness. That means 3 in 5 people regularly experience feelings of social isolation as well as social anxiety. Loneliness is becoming an epidemic among Millennials and members of Generation Z, but it is also prevalent in older generations, especially in the elderly.
Why is this significant? Well, long term solitude can negatively impact mental health, as it’s often tied together with depression and stress. But that’s not all. Chronic loneliness can also affect physical health.
Of course, there’s a difference between being alone and feeling alone. Feeling lonely means that you have no one there to talk to or turn to when you want to. It means that your social needs are not being met.
The good news is that you can overcome loneliness. But first, you need to learn to recognize the signs you may be lonely.
