Ladies of Hive Community Contest #123 - Loneliness in the World full of People

in Ladies of Hivelast year (edited)

This week's @LadiesofHive - Contest has a question which is so very true in the times that we are living.
1️⃣ Why are there so many people who are lonely? Why is it so hard for people to make real connections when almost everyone wants to make real connections?

Can we imagine that we live in a world that has 7.8 billion people and yet there are times when people feel lonely. There are two types of loneliness. One where a person likes to be disconnected and stay with self, which is a conscious decision to isolate and the other where in midst of a crowd also a person feels lonely due to various reasons.

There are many reasons to feel this loneliness.

People have learned to live superficial lives, show what they are not and, in the bargain, isolating themself from the real world. There's an imaginary world that has been created and in this imaginary world there is a certain level of expectation. This expectation creates a delusion and this delusion drifts one apart from the people in the real world. The delusion does not allow to connect with the reality and further creating distances. And who can be the real culprit to create all of the delusion? The life of Social Media. Either people portray who they are not or people get influenced with watching what they are not. In both these situations it is taking one away from the real world and the real people.

Too much of social media influence creates a brain fog where one loses the ability to see and live in the real world with real people and starts living in a world which is superficial. Just like a movie, when we are watching a movie, we get engrossed and get carried away in the emotions of the movie. This is for a limited time but our social media is all the time with us and constantly we are getting influenced by it.

We follow celebrities, models, the rich and the famous of the world on these medias and then want to become like them. We forget that what they put up is also not real, they are also faking it out for publicity, their real life is very different from their screen life, but we cannot see their real life, we only focus on their screen life and that creates a delusion from us. With all of these influences we keep cutting out ourselves from the real world and the real people.

The fancy lives, the glamour that we keep watching around us on social media is fake most of the time, but one gets so absorbed in this virtual world that even when one is not in that world, they still associate themself to it and push the real world aside.

The other thing is also that there are phases of life where we are in a very fast pace and we tend to ignore people around us, we get so self-absorbed with our own ambitions and achieving our goals that we kind of cut ourselves from everyone around us and isolate. Suddenly when we are out of that fast pace zone, we realize that we are alone and then the distance created by us makes it difficult to connect back to the real-world people around us.

There are many other reasons also which make us cut out from the real-world people. The increasing levels of anxiety, stress and depression are one common problem people are facing, this also makes us disconnected from the reality. In depression people feel that they have the most miserable life then everyone around them and with that inferiority complex they cut out from everyone around them. The low self-confidence and low self-esteem also make one cut out from the real-world people and then again here social media comes into the picture. It is a place where one is just by themself feeling good with whatever experience they are going through there. They are enjoying that space and hence they want to remain in that space, because they feel that if they step out of that space, they will not be happy.

I like loneliness, though not all the times, and the healthier one, where I would like to enjoy my own company consciously with no influences.

Thank you for visiting my blog. 👼🏻👼🏻💖💖🌹🌺🌸

Haha I laughed when you talked about the world having billions of people but some still feel lonely... That's the dark side of loneliness, it comes in whatever situation when an individual allows it.

You gave really thoughtful reasons for people to feel lonely.

Social media is a killer for sure. But mainstream media is worse.

Very true, both of them go hand in hand in ruining the lives of people

This world is connected less in times of advancement and feeling alone or yes alone because of over douse of excessive usage of social media.

The sad part is people understand it but yet do not give up on it completely

Hello Naina mam

It's a good topic for the contest. I totally agree with you. Both social and main stream media have deep impact on our lives.It is difficult to control ourselves separate from both of them. What we are and what ever we learn is just a copy from our environment. We should not consider these enviornment as only way of life.

Yes, everything is an experience and the most important thing is to maintain the balance.
