Internet Desk: Some are left alone churning. They feel that there is no one for them and that they are alienated by those around them. In fact, psychologists say that it is our habits, way of thinking and mentality that keep people away from us. Those who feel lonely have these characteristics. 

Don't tell anyone

Many people hide their emotions inside without sharing them with anyone. They do not share their feelings with family members and friends who love them. If you do this, others will think that they don't like/trust me.. that's why they didn't say anything. They gradually become distant.

They want to understand without saying

They think that if you care about me, understand even if you don't tell me about my feelings. No one can understand without saying it all the time. May not respond as desired. This leads to frustration and depression. Misunderstandings begin. I feel that no one understands me and I am alone.    

Silence if there is a fight

Sometimes discomfort is inevitable in relationships. Disagreements, quarrels and emotions are natural. However, those who remain alone are afraid to face these. Even if there is a chance to talk and solve it, they remain silent. As a result, the bonds become strained and the distance gradually increases. 

All about themselves

When someone says something like that happened to me, they go back in time and tell about themselves. Doing this makes others feel that they are not being heard. They feel that their words are not respected. This stops them from talking.

Overthinking on response

Anyone who says something or responds through a message. Due to this, suspicions will increase and relationships will be damaged. They alienate others by thinking that something has happened even though nothing has happened.  

Lack of honesty

Some people hide the truth so that others don't get hurt and fights don't happen.. they stay silent. However, they do not disappear just because they are not mentioned. Increases impatience in man. Do not give peace. This silence creates more distance between the bonds than the fights that can be caused by talking.  

Loneliness is my head

Certain beliefs change a person's behavior. The belief that 'I will always be left alone' also falls under that category. Some people don't meet with anyone thinking that this is my head. They think that other people will distance themselves, but they themselves will stay away first.

What should be done?

All the above is not loneliness caused by other people. If we increase awareness about this and make changes in lifestyle and habits, there are possibilities of changing the situation. 

  • First of all, you should put aside the thought of what others think about you. Inner feelings should be communicated to trusted people. Greet and talk to friends and family members. If you talk to them, you will not feel lonely. 
  • Adequate sleep, nutrition and exercise should be part of daily life. These keep physical and mental health strong. Going to the gym and walking with friends will increase the bond. 
  • Empty leads to feeling of loneliness. Don't miss that opportunity. At such a time, it is okay if you engage in some work like reading your favorite book, listening to music, gardening. Actively participate in club, class, volunteer, and online community activities. Opinions should be expressed without any anger. 
  • Having meals and going for walks with family members and friends. Then, I feel that they are all there for me. The thought of being alone will go away.
  • If necessary consult psychiatrists and get appropriate treatment. Seeking psychotherapy is not a weakness. It should be considered a brave decision for a better future.
