It's that season again, people either feel a sense of loneliness or togetherness due to the holidays and change in weather. To be honest, it can happen at any time, and anywhere that you start feeling a sense of loneliness. I am not a psychiatrist or a therapist but I am a fellow human being who has noticed a few things about being lonely. One of them is it's hard to fine people you truly feel that understand you if you don't understand yourself. Some of us can more readily discover who we are in social settings but some of us can't. I think we must remember that being alone and feeling lonely don't always go hand in hand. There are times when you need to be alone to get closer to figuring out your greater sense of purpose in life. It can get lonely on the road to self-discovery but it is only momentary as you will often find people on that same path as you. Reach out if you are feeling lonely, let's chat!
