Discuss what makes people lonely and give practical examples
1. Insufficient contact with others
2. Time spend with others does not satisfy the
need for connection
3. Lack of close or meaningful relationships
4. Physical isolation or distance from others
Examples:
1. A person who lives alone and works from home may not have enough opportunities to interact with others on a regular basis, leading to feelings of loneliness.
2. Spending time with acquaintances or colleagues may not fulfill the need for deeper, more intimate connections, resulting in a sense of emptiness and isolation.
3. Someone who has recently moved to a new city and has not yet found a close group of friends or supportive community may feel lonely despite being surrounded by people.
4. A person who is physically isolated, such as being homebound due to illness or living in a remote area with few neighbors, may struggle with feelings of loneliness due to lack of social contact.
