Lack of communication with others can easily lead to anxiety, depression, and melancholy. What should one do?

Good day, my name is Mustard, and I am a psychology enthusiast.

The words evoke a profound sense of solitude and accountability.

First and foremost, repeated rejections from the external environment will inevitably result in a depletion of one's energy reserves. Furthermore, the pervasive sentiment of "everything going wrong" will impede the recuperation of one's mental fortitude.

However, in the company of one's peers, one can find a moment of respite.

It is probable that the questioner is an extrovert who requires social interaction in order to replenish their energy.

The questioner displays a pronounced sense of responsibility and demonstrates an ability to consistently organize and manage external circumstances effectively.

The questioner's inner world is notably devoid of content, which precipitates a sudden sense of disorientation when they are alone.

The questioner exhibits a markedly diminished sense of belonging to life.

It is also possible that the lack of autonomy in the subject's current circumstances may be a contributing factor to this sense of emptiness.

An ideal or hobby can provide an individual with a sense of purpose and fulfillment, thereby enhancing their overall energy levels.

The feelings of emptiness and fatigue that are often experienced when one is lonely may be a form of protest from the body and mind.

The following advice is offered:

The inquirer must adopt an optimistic outlook, akin to the Chinese proverb "塞翁失马,不怨命,但求自保" (Sai Weng loses his horse, but it turns out for the best), towards misfortune. A psychological study indicates that it is more frustrating to experience a series of unfortunate events than to endure a single, significant misfortune. Similarly, it is more gratifying to witness a succession of positive occurrences than to experience good fortune in isolated instances.

For those experiencing feelings of exhaustion and emptiness, it is essential to identify activities that provide a sense of accomplishment and allow for some personal space for self-reflection and recuperation.

In addition to seeking out individuals with whom to engage in conversation, it is also recommended to explore the benefits of distraction as a means of emotional expression. Alternatively, one may choose to immerse themselves in introspection and communication with the inner self. The texts "Loneliness: Return to Self" and "The Nature of Self" are both available at the Yixinli Reading Club.

In the event that a sense of belonging is perceived to be lacking, it is possible to enhance one's quality of life through the acquisition of small objects. The incorporation of a sense of ritual into one's life may also prove beneficial.

Mindfulness is a practice that can enhance one's appreciation for the beauty of life. It involves developing a sense of connection with nature and animals, which can foster a deeper sense of well-being.

One may choose to engage in activities such as petting dogs and cats, inhaling the fresh scent of nature, or even running in the rain.

It is important to be honest about one's feelings of emptiness and to accept oneself fully.

It is my sincere hope that you and I will finally have the love and courage that is rightfully ours.

Hello, After carefully reading your description of the situation, I feel that you are a person with great self-awareness. You pay close attention to every change in your mood and the moment it occurs, and even the cause of it. This is really good and can help us make progress quickly and change to become a better version of ourselves.

I understand that you have been experiencing a great deal of stress and exhaustion since graduating last year, both in your studies and in your work. It seems that you benefit from talking to friends, but that you also feel a sense of emptiness and fatigue when you are alone. It is clear that you are facing many challenges and difficulties, and that it is not easy for you. I want you to know that I am here for you and that I am willing to offer you a hug and a little bit of strength. Let's work together to find new ways to deal with the problems that keep arising.

You mentioned that when you chat with others, you feel calmer and happier. I agree that the process of chatting with others is also a process of sorting out your own thoughts. When negative emotions are poured out and in the process of narration there is also a process of sorting out thoughts, the output is gradually revealed, and these emotions will gradually be released. At this time, you will feel close to your true self, your heart will be clear, and you will gain strength. I understand that the problem now is that you feel a little more comfortable and have the energy to do other things, but I think we should pay attention to it because it shows a problem: you haven't thought about and sorted out your inner self as a whole for a long time. It seems like most of the pressure has been ignored, suppressed, or repressed by you directly, and over time, it has accumulated and become a lot of negative energy, which causes you to always feel down and listless. Over time, procrastination will also arise as a result. Therefore, every little bit of output can no longer satisfy you. At this time, the long-term accumulated negative energy needs to be gradually released in a scientific way, and then you can master this method to bring a new way of facing the same life situations in the future.

1: It might be helpful to start paying attention to every thought you have, for example, by asking yourself questions like "What's wrong with me?" or "What's going on?" (It can be beneficial to be aware of your mood changes at all times.)

2: It might be helpful to consider keeping a mood diary. You could try a format like this: Time: xx, Place: xx, Event: xx, Feeling: xx (you might find it useful to record every moment, using a mobile phone or notebook)

3: It might be helpful to get into the habit of asking why, e.g.: Why am I feeling down and don't want to do anything? Conclusion: I feel tired.

Perhaps it would be helpful to continue asking questions to gain a deeper understanding of the situation. For instance, why do I feel tired?

If I may make a suggestion, perhaps it would be helpful to consider the following:

If I may make a suggestion, perhaps you could try...

With time and patience, you can gradually refine your thoughts to identify the root cause of your feelings. By clarifying and questioning your thoughts, you can understand the underlying reasons behind your emotions and work towards resolving them.

The above methods are done step by step, so there is no need to rush. As long as you see your own ideas, change will become very simple and fast.

I think that's enough for now. I hope this has been helpful. If you can, please consider following this. I look forward to seeing your transformation. Have a happy day!

Hello, I'm Flower.

Given the number of things on the questioner's plate, it's understandable that they're feeling overwhelmed. It can be anxiety-provoking and mentally and physically exhausting. If I could, I'd give them a hug and let them feel the power of warmth.

The questioner is really impressive. As a fellow 98-year-old, I think if it were me, I would have probably broken down and cried on the spot.

First of all, the question is titled "What should I do if I lack interaction with others and feel anxious, depressed, and dispirited?" From the title, I thought the question was about interpersonal relationships and self-emotions. After reading the question, I found that there may be quite a few reasons for the questioner's anxious, depressed, and dispirited emotions.

Before I share my experience, I want to say to the questioner: Take it easy!

Take a break! The alarm bells are ringing, and it's clear that we need to recharge.

Back to the topic, talking to friends can be relaxing, but then you may get caught up in your emotions again. What should you do in that case?

Take a moment to identify the main events of the emotion.

What was going through the questioner's mind when this happened? Was it something to do with their work?

Could it be exam pressure or family relationships?

Are you bothered by being single? Or is there something else going on?

The original poster can try writing these thoughts down. They can use a pen and paper. They can sort them into categories and work through them one by one. Then they can observe how their emotions change after they finish writing.

You can learn more about how writing can be therapeutic in a psychological context. Writing to yourself can help you to deal with negative emotions.

Taking action is a great way to relieve anxiety.

When we feel anxious and stressed, it's because we haven't resolved those stressors yet. They're still on our minds, disturbing our thoughts. So, when we stop thinking about these things and start to resolve them, the anxiety will ease.

Once we've identified the issues, we can revisit them to assess how much we can handle at our current level and what we can do about them. We can also sort these events by time and importance and deal with them in a more structured way.

(Four dimensions: most urgent and most important, most urgent and generally important, not urgent and most important, not urgent and generally important)

It's also good to lower expectations for results.

I get the sense that the original poster is hoping for the best, but it'll take time and there's a process to follow. Having expectations about the outcome can make us more anxious. Maybe lowering expectations a little and focusing on the process and thinking about what we gain from it can help alleviate anxiety.

Try doing some relaxation exercises now and then.

You can also try deep abdominal breathing to relax your body, as well as mindfulness meditation to connect your body and mind.

It seems like the original poster might be feeling a bit tense and could really benefit from some rest and relaxation.

If you enjoy listening to music or watching videos, and you're open to spending a little time on things that don't stress you out, then give it a try. Life isn't just about relationships. Learn to be kind to yourself, relax more, and it'll do wonders for your emotional health.

I've been dealing with a few important things recently, and I was feeling a bit stressed, so I made a point of prioritising them and invited the original poster to join the relaxed topic's multi-person chat room to chat with everyone.

I hope this is helpful to the person who asked the question, and I wish you well.

Let me tell you a bit about myself. When I was younger, whenever I faced a challenge, I would look around to see if there was anyone who could offer a helping hand, encouragement, and support, and help me get through it. But as I grew up, I realized that kind of life was too passive, so I made a decision: I stopped looking for a pillar of support and chose to be a pillar of support for myself and others.

I don't know why there's a sun in the sky, but I know there is, and I can be another sun too, lighting up people's hearts and melting away any ice. With this belief, after a few years, I've basically achieved this.

Many of my friends, both male and female, young and old, whether they are already working or continuing their studies, will come to me whenever they are having a tough time. I always encourage them and let them gain some spiritual strength from me.

I always tell my friends two things: "Believe in yourself. You are the best. There is no river in the world that cannot be crossed, and never, never, never give up on life."

"The best part is when people tell me that whenever they hit a snag, they read the letters I've written and feel more confident and capable. They find solutions to their problems and even gain some previously unheard-of abilities to do so. They also try to help those around them in need, and gradually become another little sun. It can be said that everyone around me is more or less influenced by me.

We can all be influenced and influence others. It's just a matter of willpower. The person with the stronger willpower is the winner.

I also learned how to be a pillar of strength, which has had a big impact on my life. It took time and effort, but it was worth it. This is a lesson that benefits everyone.

The key is to find yourself.
