Loneliness is at its core a biological and emotional reaction, more so than an environmental one. It has less to do with the quantity of our friendships or social relationships and more to do with our internal experiences and perception of the world. Loneliness should be treated as an important enabler for our growth rather than feel threatened.
This week we break down the psychological, biological and evolutionary underpinnings of loneliness and break down some of the stigma around feeling lonely in your 20's. This decade is full of a number of significant life transitions and changes that can lead us to feel isolated and detached, but loneliness sometimes get's a bad wrap. We explore how we can cultivate a better relationship with loneliness by understanding the instinctual urges behind this feeling, embracing solitude and reframing the narrative around exactly how common it is to feel lonely in your 20's.
