Loneliness

Loneliness has followed me my whole life, everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man -- Travis Bickle taxi driver

I think of this line now and then whenever I become alone in my room, at home or anywhere from room to the office.

This line in the movie Taxi Driver tells you a lot of things about the loneliness (A grave problem nowadays we all are suffering from) even it was filmed in the year 1976.

It focuses on the one's life, who doesn't have anyone to share his feelings, his tremendous thoughts, and so his life.

Currently, we live in the age where even after having Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter all social sites to connect with people worldwide, we are alone, living alone, dying alone. These sites are no doubt big platforms to connect, interact with people, but this has made as a lonely person who doesn't has any real friends, relatives with whom he/she could share anything that would bring some serenity in the one's life.

These all problems have arisen due to lack of trust, belief on another person.

Nowadays, people even feel doubtful of their families, relatives and so don't share their feelings, emotions, depressions often.

It has brought many disorders like depression, clinical disorder, bipolar disorder that ruin one's life.

Ahead to these problems, people become obsessive about things they like to do alone. It doesn't matter whether it's a sexual activity or intercourse, but widely there are many things, even harmful ones that just make them ill at physical and so at the psychological level.

We need to maintain our social, mental health balanced that offer us a great opportunity at each and every front.

In my book Bachelor's Marriage, I have mentioned this thing with the protagonist Sujay, who is a lonely guy even having good friends and the family. This is because of his fear of getting rejected or denied by his surrounding.

For young ones, the loneliness can be a bliss at this time, but when you grow old you understand the need of being with the people, friends, community and you understand the feeling of affiliation, which empowers your health and mind.

Below are the some tips to get rid of it.

Make a plan.

Do something — anything.

Explore your belief.

Have realistic standards.

Bond with a good friend.

Reach out to a lonely person.

Make time for relationships.

Talk to a trusted friend or relative.


I hope these things will inculcate some good habits in you.
