Hey there, readers! Before we dive into the various topics we'll be discussing, I thought it might be helpful to take a moment and explain the purpose of this blog and why I decided to create it.
One of my main objectives for this blog is to get to the bottom of the loneliness epidemic that plagues so many of us. It's a perplexing conundrum that even in situations where we theoretically should have ample opportunities for social engagement, we often find ourselves unable to forge meaningful connections. What drives this disconnect? Is it fear that stifles our interactions or is there something deeper and more multifaceted at play?
A plan I have in mind is to conduct surveys on my college campus. The goal is to gather personal stories and experiences from students and analyze them for any recurring patterns. I hope that by doing so, I can gain a better understanding of the causes and effects of loneliness in people my age and potentially identify some key aspects that contribute to or alleviate the issue. Another goal of mine is to develop strategies and resources that facilitate genuine connections between individuals suffering from loneliness. By identifying the factors that contribute to both the aversion and attraction of people during new social interactions, I aim to provide individuals with the knowledge and tools necessary to form meaningful and lasting relationships.
Ultimately, though, my primary objective is to contribute to a world where fewer individuals feel isolated. I hope to provide resources, support, and guidance that will help people to overcome their feelings of loneliness and connect with others on a deeper level. The potential for positive change and personal growth that can come from reducing loneliness is immense, and I am committed to working towards that end.
Im 26 myself, done with college, work a full time job, and haven’t had friends I could rely on since elementary. I cant wait to see what else you have in store for us, lovely ✨
