Loneliness in the Online Era: People have many friends but feel lonely.
Have you ever…had a lot of friends on social media, Line chats popping up all day, whatever you post gets likes continuously, but when you turn off the screen…it feels empty, lonely, and like there’s really no one beside you. Loneliness in this era where we are connected all the time…is a real thing that can happen. Even though it seems like we have people around us, many relationships in the แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ online world may only be superficial connections, causing the heart to still feel “lonely” deep down.
Why do people who seem to have many friends still feel lonely ?
- A relationship that is not deep
We may have many “online friends”, but if most of the conversations are just short greetings or likes without understanding the real feelings, it may not fulfill the heart that truly needs understanding.
- Comparing life with others too much
Social media is full of images of happiness, success and seemingly perfect lives, which can sometimes make us feel inferior and lonely. In reality, those who post their bright lives may also be hiding their loneliness.
- Not daring to open up in real life
Some people are good at online activities, but in real life, they feel insecure, do not dare to speak up, do not dare to ask for help, causing them to keep their feelings to themselves even more.
- Lack of true connection with oneself
When we spend too much time following other people’s lives, we sometimes forget to get to know ourselves, listen to our inner voice, and ask ourselves, “How do I feel right now?”
What to do when you feel lonely in a world where it seems like there are always people around you ?
- Reduce screen time and spend more time with those around you.
Just talking face to face, making eye contact and laughing together can warm your heart.
- Find activities where you can really meet people.
Whether it’s volunteering, exercising in a group, or taking a new class, meeting people with similar interests can help build meaningful relationships.
- Openly discuss in a safe space
If loneliness starts to affect your heart, making you feel sad, exhausted or too lonely, talking to a psychologist or psychiatrist is a solution that you shouldn’t hesitate to give up. Because sometimes… what you need may just be “someone who listens to you with their heart.”
