If I Ain T Got Me

“Actually, feeling lonely has little to do with how many friends you have. It 's the way you feel inside. Some people who feel lonely may rarely interact with people and others who are surrounded by people but don 't feel connected” (Karyn Hall 2013). Truthfully, loneliness is something almost all people fear. It 's a deeper feeling then just being isolated. It 's feeling distant or disconnected from others. Loneliness is so much more than just feeling secluded, it 's feeling rejected by society, or even like an outcast. In Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck suggests that there is a deeper meaning to being lonely than just the superficial sense of

Differentiating from attention seeking to isolation, loneliness has numerous factors. However, people have various ways in showing that they’re lonely even if words aren’t spoken. It can be shown verbally, physically and emotionally. During the course of the novel, countless circumstances were revealed. Whether it were in the characters that were talked today, to the characters like Lennie, and George, almost all of the characters in the book had a sense of loneliness in them. Some people may discover that picking fights with people is how they’ll deal with solitude. On the other hand people may look for the extra attention to consume their feelings of aloneness. Like said at the beginning, being lonely can both be good and bad. Someone may be able to become more successful in life alone, or another may need the help of others to become successful. Everybody’s different in their own way, and everyone has their own way of dealing loneliness. It comes and goes and sometimes people are hit harder than others. Feeling lonely is a natural obstacle everyone must overcome, it’ll be a long way down the road, but it’ll all be worth it in the

When someone is alone, people will see them as an outsider, having no friends can send out this vibe. However, to some, they may seem alone, but to them, they may see others as alone. Back to the scenario that was brought up earlier, if a kid is reading outside alone, some may think he is lonely, but to him, he is just relaxing, and reading. Also, to him, he may see another kid playing basketball on his own, the kid reading probably thinks that he is lonely, and an outsider. These people, might just like to be alone. For me, personally, I like to be alone sometimes. Being in public can be a real drain mentally and it is good to have the time for just being by oneself, no worrying. However, there are days when I realize, that occasionally, being alone is not chosen by someone, sometimes, people are just alone and lonely, at that moment, they may be begging to be social, and have closer relationships with people they know. This is one of the ways that outsiders are misunderstood, people might think that they want to be alone, which is a common occurrence, but just because they are alone, does not mean that is where they want to

People are built for social contact. It’s an inborn trait, certain and inevitable, located in the brain called the amygdala. That brain structure causes the need for human companionship. Humans want to share their inner self, thoughts and feelings with someone else, so that when they leave this world, they can be remembered. When living in a society, we are bound to have friends, relatives and colleagues because we interact with them on a daily basis.

Loneliness is a emotion that many people suffer from everyday. In “Why Personal Relationships Are Important” Charles Meadows notes, “A study of breast cancer patients found that those with fewer satisfying social connections experienced higher levels of depression, pain, and fatigue.” Due to those symptons, people seem to have fewer social connections because of these

Loneliness has become an epidemic among young adults and spared out in elders’ everyday life where social isolation has become a cause of early death because we cannot cope alone.

Oftentimes, people confuse loneliness with the state of being alone. When looking at the overall big picture, it is easy to forget that loneliness is temporary. People are not alone because even back in primitive times, they bore a natural instinct to strive for companionship in order to survive. Human imagination creates companions in cases of extreme loneliness which contradicts the state of being alone. Due to societal and family standards, others in society make it practically impossible to be alone. Mankind often goes through life without realizing the overwhelming amount of human contact and support. People are never alone, they are just simply

As social beings, most of us feel the need to interact and enjoy the company of others. A popular definition of loneliness is that it's that feeling we get when this interaction is missing. However, loneliness is not the same as being alone or isolated. One can choose to be alone and enjoy a very blissful life. Or one can be very active in community groups, friends, and even family and still feel lonely. Loneliness is not an outward appearance, its an internal battle that causes weakness, and spiritual isolation within a person.

In conclusion, when people are experiencing loneliness, their actions, as well as their way of life is altered. Also some problems and changes are caused

Isolation caused by social media can also create depression of the mind. In Molly Edmonds’ article “What are the effects of isolation on the mind?” a researcher, John Cacioppo, at the University of Chicago states, “20 percent of all people are unhappy because of social isolation at any given moment.” It is proven that social isolation has a major impact on emotions. Having numerous so-called “friends” on social media may cause certain people to feel popular and content. However, reality kicks in making one realize they are lonely as a result of not having real friends. According to Molly Edmonds, loneliness often leads to stress, which is a risk factor for many conditions in its own right. Technology often takes up so much of one’s life that they actually forget about the world they live in. People often realize how lonely they are after taking a break from technology, which causes stress and confusion. Since technology is now taking the place of human interaction, isolation will become a common problem among

Everyone is affected by loneliness, but specifically a good community can help bring you up. A book titled ‘Of Mice and Men’ by Steinback shows us the struggle and difficulties the men had in the early 90s, dealing with poor paid jobs and corruption. For the Article “5 Reason We don’t need Community” by Trevor Lee discusses about the different ways the community isn’t needed upon us like. Now the Novel “House On Mango Street” by Sandra Cisneros shows us the life a of a young girl who does have much but herself looking for a path for a new ‘home’. Although some communities have can have a negative effect on people's, negative communities can be motivation and teach ‘broken ones’ to do better.

The human species is inevitably a social species that has depended on other members since birth. We’re social creatures that need other people in order to be well and thrive. Naturally, surrounding ourselves with others and fostering close relationships are the

Loneliness is very abundant in North America in this generation. It has become a problem and people are relying less and less on family and friend comfort. In my opinion, I feel that this is very bad and can lead to health issues. I feel like we, as humans, were made to comfort and be comforted by other humans. Caring for one another was a very good trait back in the day, but now families are less accepting or do not care about their children, causing them to rebel. One reason I think people are solely relying on themselves in their lives now, is because people in this generation are so cruel. They can tear people down with just words and can cause trust issues. Another reason I think this generation is so lonely is because of the social media

Without interaction with other people the world would be a lonely place. The loneliness and quietness of an empty room would drive anyone mad. The novel In the Middle of the Night by Robert Comier clearly shows this. In the novel a teenage usher named John Paul Colbert works at a theater when an accident occurs and tragically results in the death of 22 children. His son Dennis Colbert (or Denny) has to suffer for his father’s actions with the hatred from the people who surround his everyday life. Throughout the story Dennis lives through his life changing himself, learning numerous lessons, and evolves from the person that he became.
