Fixing Loneliness

Fixing Loneliness

I am not sure there is a complicated strategy to fixing loneliness.

The answer is in relationships.

It is sad – but telling – that this has been one of my more popular posts.

You are not the only one longing for connection.

This even touches on one of the points examined in Raising Girls, By: Melissa Trevathan and Sissy Goff.

Girls don’t just need good friends to provide expression and security, they need a place that offers them influence as well.

I learned that loneliness isn’t fixed by listening to other people talk. You can cure your loneliness only by doing the talking yourself and—most important—being heard.

-Scott Adams, How To Fail At Almost Everything And Still Win Big
