It's hard to problem-solve on our own, or have the courage to ask a friend, or find a therapist who fits for us, or a rabbi or a priest or minister, to help us consider the situation. It's really hard to face it.
For example, when we truly are too lonely. Loneliness harms. Loneliness starves. Loneliness shortens the lives of people and animals. Loneliness is a very difficult thing.
Loneliness preys upon itself. Loneliness tends to make us doubt our own self-worth. Fosters our lack of confidence that possibly somebody wants to be in our company.
Loneliness can lead to depression and despair and terrible isolation. Often, when somebody well meaning asks us if everything is okay, we have that strange compulsion, right? To put a smile on our face, and, and in complete denial, say "Oh , of course ." And then slink away, knowing that it is not true at all. Having absolutely no idea how to ask for help I confide in anyone.
There are a lot of people who are really helpful for problem-solving with.
Often times we need somebody outside of our own selves to help us look at the situation anew.
With fresh eyes.
