Suffering from loneliness doesn’t always mean that you are alone. You may live with family and friends, meet your friends, family and/or colleagues on a regular basis and still feel lonely. Loneliness can mean many things and can be brought on by many situations, but at the root of it, it is about your mental health. It is important for you to know and understand that you don’t need to keep suffering from loneliness. One big part of fighting loneliness is learning as much about it as you can, including how to overcome this overbearing feeling.
