Loneliness

As the Christmas season is upon us it’s time to talk about the difficulties that many people face at this time.

Feeling lonely? You are not alone. 1 in 2 Australians are feeling more lonely since COVID-19. Loneliness is the common negative feeling we get when there is a discrepancy between the relationships we would like, and the ones we feel like we have. It is a subjective feeling, it’s not about the number of people we interact with, or the time spent with other people versus the time we spend alone. The quality of our relationships is more important than the quantity.
