About the loneliness of the soul
The human soul is a rather subtle substance. If something goes wrong in life, the person begins to experience discomfort. First of all, he becomes lonely. It happens this way, despite the fact that there are friends and relatives around him. Complete despair sets in and fills all the space in the soul.
Definition
Loneliness can be mental, mental, or physical.... It comes into our lives for various reasons. Some individuals voluntarily withdraw from communication with people. Others simply do not know how to behave properly in society in order to establish contact with someone.
Mental loneliness is the most dangerous feeling for the human psyche. With the onset of just this type of loneliness, the individual begins to feel personal emptiness. She, in turn, does not allow development, so the subject will always be alone. And this is despite the fact that his very close relatives are next to him.
People who were able to overcome their loneliness say that this is the state in which a person is surrounded by wonderful and kind friends and family. However, these people have someone much closer than this person. A person sees around him acquaintances, friends, or just people. At the same time, she realizes that they do not even care about her thoughts and desires. And so I want to talk to someone and speak out.
When a void simply breaks apart from the inside, it is difficult to survive. You feel like you are in a deep forest among people.
Causes
It often happens that a person suddenly has a spiritual awakening in his mind. Then he begins to feel spiritual loneliness. This happens because in this case the person begins to rethink his being, takes the path of alienation from the circle of habitual communication.If from all sides a person is surrounded by something bad (consumer attitude to life, materialism), then he withdraws into himself. Therefore, at first, the people around him cease to understand him, and then the loneliness of the soul sets in.
In other cases, people may experience a kind of alienation when they are left alone for a long time. Moreover, not all subjects feel discomfort due to the vacuum created around them. And if this feeling overwhelms them, then they quickly find a way out of this negative situation. There are people who, on the contrary, feeling loneliness, withdraw into themselves and stop contacting people. The latter option poses the greatest danger, since a person may experience psychological decline.
Another reason people take the path of alienation is it is a strong need for companionship and love. When there is no understanding in the family, it is in this case that loneliness sets in. Many people experience the described mental discomfort due to psychological trauma suffered in childhood. If the subject has not previously found understanding from the world around him, then he will experience various complexes in his adult state. Lack of self-confidence will be a further impetus to the aggravation of the situation.
Loneliness has kinds. For example, situational may arise due to tragic accidents (death of a loved one, loss of a loved one, etc.). Over time, when a person comes to terms with the tragedy, loneliness will gradually disappear. Chronic loneliness is more serious. This condition occurs due to the occurrence of various psychological problems.
For example, the subject does not accept his "I", the reality of being is alien to him, he has undisclosed mental trauma.
Signs
Some scientists, after conducting research, have come to the conclusion that loneliness can haunt a person throughout his life. It appears suddenly and just as suddenly it disappears. Some people can accept it and even cope with it, while others cannot. When the soul hurts, then a person becomes depressed.
Consider the main signs that speak of the mental loneliness of a person:
- subjects are focused on their "I", they can easily translate the conversation to the topic that is most interesting to them;
- if there are sociable and happy people around them, then this factor causes irritation and even aggression;
- these subjects are always gloomy;
- often show either complete indifference or excessive concern to others;
- increased anxiety can also indicate the onset of a feeling of loneliness;
- the subject can easily lose his temper over a trifle;
- aggression is also a manifestation of alienation;
- self-criticism and straightforwardness also speak of the loneliness of the soul;
- very much suspiciousness on any occasion indicates mental problems;
- subjects experiencing psychological discomfort are too conflicted;
- can exert psychological pressure on other people to convey their point of view to them;
- hypocrisy helps a lonely person hide his true state of mind;
- subjects cannot control their behavior;
- being in a noisy company brings discomfort;
- when everyone is happy, such a person is completely sad;
- can self-flagellate and always feel unnecessary;
- cannot find a common language with the people around them, and when they ask for something, they feel awkward.
The conclusion is that the loneliness of the soul occurs when a person cannot find standard models of interaction with himself, as well as with other people.
How do I change the state?
All people are very similar to each other. We cannot, by pulling out a tooth, share the pain with those around us. Therefore, a person also has to overcome individual tests in an independent way. You need to remember this and understand that everything in this world is relative.
However, a person needs to share their personal experiences with others from time to time and draw conclusions. From this, mental balance returns to normal. It's another matter when this does not happen. The chronic form of loneliness very strongly captures the psyche and destroys it.
Therefore, it is imperative to get rid of such a negative state by adhering to the following tips.
- First of all, you need to analyze your inner world. Realize the reason for the loneliness of the soul. Draw parallel lines that connect your past and future.
- Make contact with people. If you completely withdraw into yourself, you will only get worse. Remember that talking can help clear your mind of obsessive thoughts.
- Look for talents in yourself. Cultivate new traits that will help you assert yourself in the future.
- Under no circumstances engage in self-criticism.... If you continue to do this, you will plunge yourself even more into emptiness.
- Love your inner self and your individual appearance. Become a little more selfish. Think more about your needs. Then you will not so often seek spiritual closeness with people.
- Don't be overly emotional... Stop making an elephant out of a fly. Sometimes situations are not as critical as you might think at first glance.
- Develop positive thinking... As soon as obsessive thoughts begin to overwhelm you, immediately destroy them in the bud.
- Don't stir up the past. Let the past problems be a thing of the past. You cannot change what was done earlier. Remember this.
- Walk towards destiny... Don't look for a catch in every step. Courage will distract you from negative thoughts and force you to surround yourself with new people. And then an understanding will come, thanks to which the loneliness of the soul will end.
- Change your worldview fundamentally. Don't be bothered by past problems anymore. Strive to discover new knowledge and opportunities.
- Sign up for refresher courses. Perhaps there you will feel that there are like-minded people around you. You can find a common language with them.
- Become an extraordinary person... Think critically without obsessing over thinking standards. Perform your actions as you see fit. Don't look back at other people's opinions. You should have your own personal opinion, and no one should change it.
- Don't complain about the world... Don't bend under it. Let it bend under you, then you can act and feel the drive all the time. This will distract you from negative thoughts.
