What if the real meaning of Loneliness is "Being Happy", will you than choose to be Happy ?

Its not Limited to Trans Individuals Only . While introverts and extroverts seem light years apart in terms of their preference for spending time with people, the truth is, both are equally subject to feeling lonely.

Feeling lonely and being alone are often confused — but are very different. Loneliness occurs as the result of feeling disconnected from others, which can happen even when you are surrounded by people, whether at work, school, or in social situations.

Many people think that “finding the one” will cure their loneliness, but that’s not always the case. First Find yourself.

So What can you do when loneliness strikes? How can you choose Happiness Instead

1.Reflect — If you can’t pinpoint an obvious reason for your feelings, you might need to dig a little deeper to find the source of your loneliness. Explore your emotions and what they might be telling you. Many times certain periods of our life bring transitions; is it time to expand your social circle, consider different career options or think about making other changes to enhance your life?

Take a pen and paper right down your current 5 priorities to complete in next 6 months and Stick to Them . You will be surprised to know that most of them , were only occupying your mind and never really got into action. You will have so much productive things to do. You will never feel Loneliness again.

2.Learn to enjoy alone time — Sometimes people who are used to being surrounded by others don’t know how to handle time by themselves. Growing up with siblings, going straight to a dorm or other shared living quarters, some people find it unsettling to have large chunks of time to fill, and interpret that anxiety as loneliness. If you can relate, instead of trying to find people to fill your time, why not try finding activities that you enjoy: reading an engaging book, watching a movie of your own choosing, working on a challenging puzzle or taking a relaxing bubble bath.

What did you enjoy to do as kid ? what was your favourite Hobby ? Painting, cycling, swimming etc. Whatever it might be for you it's time to occupy your time with those lovely little fun memories and recreate them again everyday.

3.Take a social media break —

Seeing pictures of other people whooping it up on “girls’ night out” or enjoying beachy vacations with the extended (seemingly perfect) family is a surefire way to make yourself feel like you’re the only one without an exciting, photo-worthy life. While it might look that way on Instagram, it’s simply not the truth. Life ebbs and flows; there are good times and not-so-good times. Think about it: When was the last time you scrolled through your Facebook news feed and saw a picture of someone arguing with their partner, sitting at a sick parent’s bedside or struggling to pay bills? Keep in mind that, for the most part, social media is a place for people to showcase what they want the world to see.

You have heard about Social Media Detox every were on Social Media. May be that's the reason we have no clue How to detach from the same. You can start small, Before your Bed time leave your phone on charging way far from your bed. Detox Done. lol

4. Volunteer —

While lending a hand to an organizations or another person in need is an act of altruism, it is also a way to combat loneliness. Research has proven that volunteering helps boost feelings of social connectedness, with both mental and physical benefits. Not only do you benefit from the interaction with others, but you remove the mental focus from yourself.

5.Be proactive —

While it’s easy to get caught in the “nobody cares about me” mode, sometimes you have to remind yourself that interactions work both ways. People get busy. It doesn’t mean they don’t care. Give yourself a little nudge to send a text, pick up the phone or initiate an email to a friend.

Nurture your relationships — Give your relationships the time and attention they deserve. It’s so easy to get distracted, caught up in work, errands and social commitments that the seemingly urgent things in life get higher priority than those that really matter most in the big picture. Deep emotional connection, fostered by open and effective communication, is the true antidote to loneliness.

Know that storms pass - It’s hard to envision a sunny sky on the other side of a violent thunderstorm, but eventually, it emerges. Likewise, take solace in the fact that the emotional cloud of loneliness will clear, even if it doesn’t feel like it in the moment.
