Home alone, no one around, feeling of comfort yet isolated. Sad that you have no one yet happy at the same time you don’t have anyone. Loneliness is something we all experience, whether it’s are choice to be or life has taken from us it does tend to happen.
A universal emotion that can be harmful if you let it, but at the same time so unique and complex, depending on the person and how they view this loneliness. This is a unique feeling because people of all ages tend to fill this way at one point or another in their lives. A child who just moved across the state, now having to make new friends in a different school would possibly have this feeling. The struggle with having to make new friends, the empty feeling of not knowing anyone could emotionally damage someone. At the same time, you could still have this feeling of loneliness with you even when you are consistently around people. I believe this is what makes loneliness a unique feeling or thought because it is tough to pin point why or what makes these feeling occur unless we express our selves to someone. Expressing what it is you need or why it is you have these feelings is a great way of riding theses feeling of isolation, I often find myself not necessarily isolated and alone but not really having that companionship you should have with someone. I don’t mind the fact of being alone, I actually enjoy the company of myself, at times it does get lonely and you do find yourself wanting the company of someone but I don’t think it’s a necessity.
Life is a roller coaster and it’s hard to keep up with it sometimes. Keeping yourself motivated and determined is a daily routine. In the mist of all we have going on in our lives it’s important to have interaction with people eve...

Opening up to someone is a start even if it’s about a personal situation, getting your thoughts out to another person to hear always helps with the whole healing process. If it’s a loss your copping with, this is probably the most difficult thing to deal with, and opening up isn’t necessarily a problem it’s more of a time thing. It takes a little time for you to adjust to the change of something being different, but opening up and allowing people to help you with this change makes a huge difference. Keeping yourself from isolation and surrounding yourself with good people to help you threw things in life is always a good remedy. It’s important to remember that we are all humans and we all need to express how we feel to someone even if it is about nothing, it is still helpful to talk your feelings out with someone.

    I-Chieh Chen (2015) in The study The Scale for the Loneliness of College Students in Taiwan (http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jedp/article/download/46795/25238) stated that Loneliness was initially studied by Sullivan (1953) (A Peplau, D Perlman, LA Peplau… - Loneliness: A …, 1982 - peplaulab.ucla.edu) who proposed that loneliness was an unpleasant and intense experience related to unsatisfied requirements for intimacy (http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jedp/article/download/46795/25238). Sullivan’s research was all but neglected in his time. This neglect lasted until 1973, when Weiss, an American scholar who was an adherent of Bowlby’s attachment theory, published an article entitled “Loneliness: the experience of emotional and social isolation” (RS Weiss - 1973 - psycnet.apa.org).

    During the Great Depression, while the competitors were cutting costs and reusing outdated designs, Kress was expanding and building more elaborate stores than their previous ones. The architecture was referred to as an “emporium” evoking an elegant atmosphere more suited to a fine cloth or furniture store in New York rather than the five & dime stores dotting small town America. Many wonder what the driving force was behind these design decisions, especially during a national time of economic recession. Perhaps simply to outpace the competition, but perhaps more importantly Samuel Kress was an avid art collector and a proponent of public art enhancing a community. In this way the Kress legacy of the brand became more than a retail business, it became a symbol of small town civic pride.

    In America, it is becoming more difficult to achieve the American Dream. The American Dream is based on the idea that people can move higher up on the social scale, as long as they work hard work to accomplish their goal. The American Dream is also based on the belief that the social class you’re born into, is not the social class you have to stay in. In other words, everyone can move up in their lifetime if they work hard. However this is not true today, and people are not moving positively up the social class ladder. It has become a chain reaction of people with a college education vs. people without a college education. People with a college degree, or who have parents that have received a college degree, are significantly more likely to be in the upper class in America today, giving them an unfair advantage.

    In fact, beside freedom, single people also feel lonely and detached. According to psychological terms, they are lacking of belonging need which is the basic self-actualization of human beings. In contrast, love and companionship in marriage will fulfill belonging need. They will complete people life and also revitalize them after experiencing failure. My closest friend once told me that even though she earlier succeeds in her career than any other peers, she always feels empty, incomplete, and struggled in her own way. Because her career is now stable, I suggested that she should take care of herself more and find someone to whom she can share her success. Now she has two lovely kids and seems to be satisfied with her life. Personally, I used to dream of a happy marriage with someone I love in the rest of my life. However, after several separations, I begin to accept the single life and the lonely. Being single can heal my past disconsolation and keep me moving on.
