Loneliness is a thought or a feeling of depression which can be coupled with anxiety.
Loneliness is also the condition of being lonely. It is the state of
feeling alone and empty. Loneliness can be attributed to unhappiness in its
victim.
It is possible to feel lonely in some aspect of ones’ life. Some people
only experience loneliness in their relationship. When they are at work, they don’t
have the feeling of being alone but after work, it is a different experience
entirely.
Loneliness is like a virus to the mind as it can damage its victims mind
greatly even beyond repair and that is why you should take the signs of
loneliness seriously to see if any is manifesting in your life or someone
around you so you can get timely help.
Sometimes it might
not be easy to spot a victim of loneliness, but if you do, kindly be of help to
that person as life could be in danger. Loneliness might not be seen in a
victims’ facial expression or in their speeches, so it takes careful study to
tell if he or she is experiencing loneliness.
Most victims from
research without companions are prone to loneliness. They are not in a serious relationship;
they don’t have close friends or person they can confide in and so on.
While others might
have companions, they are very friendly, have friends, are in regular
conversations with family and friends or neighbors but yet feel lonely or have
a thought of worthlessness or valueless once they are alone at home.
There is a solution
out of this dilemma summarized into three (3) and explained in detail later.
They are effective
for a quick way out of loneliness. Though they look pretty too good to be true
but are really going to help you.
They are:
1- Consciousness
It is paramount to have your true feeling in your subconscious. In other word, be aware of your feelings. If you are able to recognize how you feel and what it is pointing at, then the problem of loneliness is half solved. Ways to do this include taking note of the type of heaviness of your body. Not all heaviness points to fatigue. Some could point to something hidden and more dangerous if left alone for too long.

Sometimes loneliness
could affect your breathing pattern.
2- Approval
When a victim has noticed loneliness in their subconscious and brought it to consciousness, approval is next. Though a lot of loneliness victims try as much as possible to run away from the reality or from the true state of their inner being.

Some run away from
this reality by engaging in more activities as much as possible. They try all
means of distractions just to avoid the approval of their state. The feeling
will only go for a holiday and then return from holiday with great joy and gladness.
But the best way out
here is to accept the feeling, know your current state of mind and move on with
life been conscious of it so to enable you have an open mind for accepting or
achieving solutions.
3- Empathy
I strongly recommend this for anyone experiencing loneliness. It is normal to have empathy for anyone experiencing loneliness, so also have empathy on yourself and move on seeking lasting solution.

Signs of Loneliness and the Way Out
1- Addiction to
Social Media
Many have resorted to social media to fill their feeling of emptiness or void they feel. They try to seek happiness online via social media platforms, not knowing it is detrimental to them especially their health. In fact, it causes increase in self-isolation since you will be alone with your gadgets.

In fact, it causes increase in self-isolation since you will be alone with your gadgets.
Most of the lives
presented on social media are not true: that might not be their true person or
personality. For instance, most people waiving and smiling on the red carpet
and on social media might be deep in loneliness. Some might have this feeling
in certain areas of their life while others are totally into loneliness. So why think they are the best set of people
on earth with nothing bothering them.
Way Out
Take a break from social media interactions and viewing profiles smiling and engage in a more physical interaction.

You could go visit
someone close to you or invite friends that can help you out doing what you love
together. Let them call you at night to check on you.
2- Long Showers
Time spent in shower could also be a pointer. It doesn’t mean long showers are bad, but what are the things running through your mind when at the shower. Do you bath for long so that time could pass? Do you think the more time you spend in shower will wash away the thought of loneliness?

3- Shopping
Excessively
Excessive shopping is a good sign of loneliness. Some people feel the more they have the more they feel fulfilled (wrong). Have you ever wondered why a person with several super cars will still add another four (4) of such cars to their garage? Most people you see shopping for things they don’t need have serious problem they don’t want to confront or don’t know how to go about it.

They think more
things acquired will give them happiness. Yes it will, but for a while.
Way Out
The best way out of this menace is to go for a recreational activity, start a new hobby, hang out with friends and family as they will provide social interaction too.

4- Suicidal
Thoughts
When someone continuously has suicidal thoughts, that person needs help urgently. This is the highest level of feeling lonely. When you want to take your own life because of the void you feel is a signal for extreme loneliness.

Tell me, why will a person go to where there is crowd especially the media or where his or her action will easily be reported on TV, gossip websites or on social media and do something nasty just to be in the news.

Once they noticed
they are not been talked about, they try to create scenes for people to know
they are still very much around.
Way Out
Seek professional help, if not seeking unnecessary attention could land you in more trouble.
