Understanding Loneliness as a Signal for Connection
Loneliness is a signal from our body, just like hunger indicates the need to eat and thirst signals the need to drink. It indicates the necessity to connect with others or introspect to understand the underlying reasons. Excessive socializing can raise our threshold for social connection, making us constantly crave more. It's essential to balance socializing with spending time alone to avoid becoming overly reliant on others. Embracing moments of loneliness and enjoying one's own company can help build resilience for future periods of solitude.
