LONELINESS

After thinking lots and lots about an idea/subject for my video. I think I will try to use "Loneliness" as the subject!

Taken from Wikipedia:

Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than just the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any form of meaningful human contact. Lonely people often experience a subjective sense of inner emptiness or hollowness, with feelings of separation or isolation from the world.

Common types

Loneliness can be summarized as falling into these categories:

• Situational / circumstantial - loss of a relationship, move to a new city
• Developmental - a need for intimacy balanced by a need for individualism
• Internal - often including feelings of low self-esteem and vulnerability

Common symptoms

• Believing that 'everyone else' has friends
• Feeling socially inadequate and socially unskilled
• Being convinced there is something wrong with you
• Failing to see a need to maintain hygiene or soiling oneself
• Feeling that no one understands one's situation
• Feeling reluctant to attempt to change, or try new things
• Feeling 'empty', depressed, or even contemplating suicide
