Beschreibung

There's a big difference between being alone and feeling lonely. We can live alone and be happy, or we can have plenty of friends and still feel lonely. We can feel like something is still missing regardless of what we have. At the end of the day, we can see how we just miss ourselves. What are my favorite things that I used to do before I got older, what past experiences changed me to become who I am now?

What is loneliness?

By Abdul Mumin 

I Miss Myself

Loneliness is the feeling that something inside of us is still missing. Symptoms include persistently depressed moods and loss of interest in activities. This can also be a feeling of self-dissatisfaction. We can have a million to no friends and still carry loneliness wherever we go. Loneliness and being alone is not the same thing, we can be happy living or being alone.

There is also loneliness and isolation, I used to feel like I was too weird for the world, my shame kept me away from socializing. I am an introvert, but I realized that I don't have to have friends, but when I needed to be social I go out and speak to a stranger. When I started to do this exercise, after speaking to more than one person I was satisfied and went home.

This was my experience because I am still separated from my wife and children. I had to learn that I am never alone, if I need to be social that day then I will, regardless of how nervous I was.  I began to see that my loneliness was the cause of my depression. Then I began to look into my past, it was my traumatic public school experiences that got in the way. I later realized that I had become a serious person. When we become adults we can sometimes let go of our youth, what made us feel free like joyful children. We begin to take ourselves seriously as if we must be perfect and mature.
