Overcoming Loneliness

About this ebook
Introduction
Hey there, need a friend?
You came to the right place. Loneliness is an emotional epidemic; it feels like you can't win the battle of feeling isolated without forced friendships and social media binges. Lucky for you, you pushed past those unrealistic solutions. You are seeking help on your own, which happens to be the first step to working through your situation.
Loneliness comes in all kinds of different flavors. You can be lonely when you're with people when you're alone on your couch, or after a life-changing event, like a break-up or the loss of a loved one. With all of that in mind, you should know that the feeling of isolation is pretty universal. It's not fun, and it's easy to feel trapped in a vicious cycle of loneliness, but it is, nonetheless, a common feeling.
Before we really dive into everything, here's an important disclaimer: If you're ever feeling so lonely that you feel significantly isolated, or maybe even depressed, you should reach out for professional medical help. That's what the professionals are there for! There is nothing to be ashamed about when asking for help; in fact, it's an act of bravery and a hallmark of self-respect. Nothing shouts, "I respect myself" more than listening to what you need and being kind to your mind, body, and soul.
In this book, you'll discover a whole new interpretation of loneliness. You'll learn how to spot it, how to define it within the context of yourself, and ultimately, how to get yourself back to a better headspace. Let's start by understanding what it means to feel lonely and how that affects your mind and your body. Once we have a good understanding of that, you'll learn the surprising benefits of alone time. It's an experience and a feeling that makes you human, so it's important to treat it that way instead of with resistance and negativity. Finally, we'll address the question that's bugging us all: How do I deal with loneliness? This section will cover how to pave a path of overcoming your situation and using it as a learning experience for the future.
Now is the perfect time to stop the self-deprecation, curl up in a comfy spot, and read on to learn how to work through your circumstances. It's a journey that should be enjoyed every step of the way, so let's embark on it with hope and high spirits!
