    Small, yet personable, communication will not "cure" being lonely. It will help you be engaged. It will help you be likeable, or find your voice.
    This seems more like an exercise in active therapy. Say, for one who is introverted, and wants to practice being less so. Or awkwardness. Or entry-level socializing skills.
    What I think of, with loneliness, is someone that is lacking in deeper, trusting relationships. Some people need just one person, some need many.

      Thank you! I agree with your definition of loneliness. And I need just one.

      @coach_amy me too, Amy. Just one, who is open-minded enough to listen and consider; even if we don't agree. Although, with my coworkers, friends, and family, I would settle for just completing my sentence. 😉

    I'm incredibly lonely because i dont have anyone to love or anyone who loves me. I speak to and have meaningless conversations with literally dozens of people every day because of my work. Definitely doesn't cure loneliness

  • @allysuhaili4074
    @allysuhaili4074 Год назад +20

    I think it's easy to communicate with people you do not know rather than people you already know. The subject could be the difficult case to start the conversation.

  • @carlocatabijan
    @carlocatabijan Год назад +8

    Loneliness is often more than just the absence of communicating but rather speaks to much deeper underlying mental health factors. It may be unrealistic to ‘just start talking to everyone’ especially when you’re feeling negative to begin with.

  • @anotherinternetidiot6300
    @anotherinternetidiot6300 Год назад +1

    Moving around a lot, I always get to know my neighbours, grocery clerk, etc. It does fulfill a certain thing, but it does not solve loneliness.

    It is good to be friendly, however women in particular have to live on the defense regarding their personal safety. Predators will often times use a simple question to see how naive and malleable you are. Do not live in a paranoid state but be aware looks and mannerisms can be deceiving.

    @j.macjordan9779 Год назад +3

    This is not the loneliness that is currently afflicting Society. This first step is not likely to help unless everyone becomes a whole lot more receptive to the blunt request of "Would you like to f***?" AS WELL AS a similar willingness themselves to approach someone entirely new & make that same blunt request.
    In this is instance, then yes, start talking to as many people as you can:
    "Oh! What City are you from? ...Really?! Well, I'm really sorry to be blunt, but you know how it's become these days! Anyhow, well, ...would you like f***? Oh! Great! ...Yeah, Friday afternoon; that works for me! ...Yeah; that sounds great! ...& It was nice meeting you as well; I look forward to seeing you on Friday! ...Ok! Bye-bye now!"
    If the conversation isn't as productive as the above, then I can't imagine loneliness subsiding to any significant degree.

    Loneliness is a condition of the heart. It's a state when your relationship with God is at a calibre where it doesn't fill you. One can have a lot of people around, talk to many people but still be lonely.

    Please believe in Allah. TedTalks just try to explain color to a blind person, and/or sometimes they are just wrong. In the case of this video it’s very personal methodology which I am happy has worked for the speaker…
    But believe me believing in Allah and fulfilling your purpose in this life of worshipping one creator will teach you true happiness and contentment.
    This life is a Test, and it’s the lowest of the worlds given there is Death. The next life is the true eternal life and you want to be amongst the successful not the ones who lost it all.
