In recent days, there have been occasional feelings of loneliness that seem to make me feel short of breath.

Hello, landlord! I'm Whale Social Worker Kissing the Wind, and I just wanted to say hello!

We all feel lonely sometimes. It's a feeling that many of us experience at some point in our lives. For some, it's a short-lived feeling that fades away with other things. But for others, it can linger for a longer period of time.

Some folks might say that loneliness is related to personality, and introverts tend to feel lonely more often. But, that's not quite right. So, what causes loneliness in humans?

We all feel lonely sometimes. It's okay to feel this way! But how can you recognize that you are feeling lonely and how can you deal with it?

Personality factors: It's often the case that introverts and even those who are a bit closed-minded are more likely to feel lonely than other people.

They often find it difficult to communicate with others, and even feel that others always look at them differently, which over time leads to a sense of loneliness. It can be really tough to feel this way! At the same time, some people with timid personalities and a lack of self-confidence will often automatically stay away from people because of their inferiority complex. On the contrary, overly arrogant people will also easily form their own little world because they look down on others.

And then there are environmental factors.

It's so important to remember that we're social creatures. We all need to feel connected to others. So, it's only natural that when we're isolated or in an unfamiliar environment, or even if we're in an unfamiliar language environment for a long time, it can feel lonely.

It's also important to remember that if your living environment doesn't match up with your ideal, it can be really easy to feel isolated and lonely.

From my own experience, I've found that a person's life experiences can also make them feel lonely. I think this is one of the main reasons why many people feel lonely in general.

We all face challenges in life that can make us feel down. It's totally normal to feel lonely when you're going through a tough time. For example, when a person encounters relationship problems, a broken heart or even a tragic death, or when they encounter work problems, work mistakes, excessively difficult work, unemployment or even long-term failure to find work, these sudden events or long-term depressing environments can make us feel like we're not good enough.

Read books and newspapers! There are so many factors that can lead to a sense of loneliness, and they often point to a sense of frustration. This can cause us to become increasingly distant from others and feel lonely. So, enriching your spiritual life is a great way to improve self-confidence and avoid feeling inferior.

So, reading more books and newspapers and learning more at this time is a great way to feel better!

Listen to music! It's a great way to lift your spirits when you're feeling down. Look for something upbeat and warm to help you feel better.

As you listen to music, you can take your time to soak in the beauty of the world through the lyrics. This can help you feel less lonely in a gentle and subtle way.

Eat delicious food! As the saying goes, "food and sex are natural human desires."

It's clear that food is an essential part of our lives. And it's amazing how it can help us when we're feeling down or lonely. A little sweet treat can do wonders for our mood and help us feel more balanced.

Wishing you all the best! (Yixinli Whale Social Worker)
