Loneliness is at epidemic levels in the United States. Even in a crowd or at a party, people can experience loneliness. But there’s good news!

Before we get to the good stuff, let’s examine loneliness a little closer. It’s been prevalent for decades. The feeling of being alone was exacerbated by the forced isolation during the pandemic. Mental health was fragile already, and why our medical “experts” thought staying away from people was a good idea is baffling to me. The CDC itself states on their website that human connection is vital for good mental health and vitality. Oh well, let’s move on.

The good news is that you can cure loneliness. It’s a temporary state of mind. Get started by calling a friend and asking them to lunch. Find the right psychotherapist to walk through your bout of loneliness with you. Try a church group out. You don’t have to join the church, and if that’s a requirement to participate with the group, find another church. You should feel welcome without conditions.

Finally, do something for someone who can never repay you. Yes, they will benefit, but you will gain so much more.

Get started! The cure for your lonely condition is right around the corner…
