RE: Overcoming Loneliness

in #psychology7 years ago

Thank you for commenting, my dear @abigail-dantes. I'm really glad you enjoyed the article! 😊

I remember watching in the news that, in some small villages in Serbia, the communities are paying young unemployed people to spend some time once per week with and help lonely elders with no relatives. I think that this is an awesome initiative, especially since we are among the poorer countries in Europe.

Great note about the vicious cycle of isolation from the psychical social world being both the cause and consequence of low self-esteem. There is an easy solution for breaking out of this cycle, however. The solution begins on the letter "T". : )

P.S. Congratulations on finishing the beer challenge. Cheers with (a sip from) a bottle of your favorite Letra a! 🍻 If you badly need a break (or a lifetime separation) from beer, a glass of a good wine will do. 🍷

Oh, if only more countries could implement such initiative.

I agree that young people would bennefit a lot more and enjoy much higher levels of subject well-being if they resorted to that T solution 😄.

Cheers to a new week ahead!
