Virtually everyone
experiences loneliness from time to time, with many people becoming especially
aware of feelings of loneliness around the holiday season, Valentine’s
Day,
and during times of extreme stress.
While the sheer number of people who
experience loneliness is quite large (a poll on this site shows that holiday
loneliness
is experienced by a surprising proportion of readers, for example), people
don’t always talk about feelings of loneliness, and don’t always know what to
do with these feelings.
