More than physically being alone, loneliness occurs when someone feels a lack of connection even if they are surrounded by many people. This can affect individuals both physically and mentally.
Physical and emotional wellbeing can both be negatively impacted when someone feels alone, especially when this extends to long periods of time.
Feeling lonely is a natural emotion everyone experiences.However for some, that lonlieness is more than just being physically alone in a room. In a room completely filled with family, friends or colleagues, there may be a percieved conflict in the deeper connection they desire and the connection they feel.
This can cause low moods of sadness or distress, tiredness or lack of motivation, disturb sleep patterns, changes in appetite, anxiety, or an increase in substance abuse.
