UNYour loneliness does’t have to look and feel the same as it does for me.
Here are 9 symptoms of loneliness:
1️⃣ Persistent sadness - feeling consistently sad or down, even when you don’t know why.
2️⃣ Isolation - you are withdrawing from social activities and spending more time alone.
3️⃣ Lack of connection - you feel disconnected from others, and like you are on the outside, even when you are surrounded by people.
4️⃣ Difficulty sleeping - loneliness can lead to disrupted sleep or insomnia.
5️⃣ Anxiety - loneliness goes hand in hand with increased feelings of anxiety, excessive worry, or restlessness.
6️⃣ Physical symptoms - loneliness can cause headaches, misuse tension, decreased immunity, due to stress.
7️⃣ Overthinking - you find yourself ruminating, dwelling on negative thoughts and feelings.
8️⃣ Low self-esteem - loneliness and worthlessness go hand in hand. You feel inadequate. Like a failure. When you feel lonely, you feel unworthy of love and connection.
9️⃣ Unhealthy coping mechanism - for example over-eating, over-working, excessive drinking, turning to drugs.
