How can someone feel lonely in a word full of people. It’s not just a thing like not seeing the forest for all the trees. Obviously there are many people out there. But in life, we are not only looking for people to surround us with, we want the right people. People that share interests or bring a certain value to our days. People that charge our batteries and don’t drain them.

I wouldn’t say that I feel lonely on a personal level, but I get the feeling that some people are. It’s also a problem caused by our modern way of living. We are on the internet, home office and the like. We seldomly meet people outside of work and hobbies and if you don’t do both in a socializing context, then where are you supposed to meet them?

You can do me a favor. If you see or know about someone that might need a talk, just invest some of your valuable time. It’s worth the effort, believe me. I recently did that with a neighbor that was clearly in need of exactly that. Just a person to talk to. A person that understands what is going on and shares their opinion. It’s not about what you say. It’s about them being able to share their thoughts and talk about their situation.

See you next time!
