Sometimes people visit the fear of being alone, without the support of family and friends. Being left without attention, communication and recognition is the worst nightmare for some individuals. If you understand where the fear of loneliness comes from, you can determine how to overcome it.
Avoiding problems
Some people see loneliness as a potential danger because they are afraid to be alone with their own thoughts. They do not want to think about any problems or plunge into self-contemplation or face unresolved issues. In this case, society is an escape from its own stream of consciousness.
If you are oppressed by some unpleasant thoughts, worried about the future or, conversely, worried about the past, you may be burdened by the fact that you do not have a company. Of course, the best way out is to work on yourself, but as long as you prefer to hush up problems, friends, relatives and colleagues will be an outlet for you.
In this case, concerns do not require discussion, and friends and family are needed to enjoy communication on other, more pleasant topics.
Low self-esteem
If a person absolutely cannot be alone, perhaps this is a consequence of his low self-esteem. Such insecure people constantly require recognition and approval. Therefore, they can hardly stand loneliness.
Sometimes, due to a lack of self-love, a person transfers his admiration and respect to someone else and becomes dependent on his society.
This type of people needs confirmation of their importance and need. In difficult situations, they cannot decide what to do without any advice. It happens that they start a relationship only to prove to themselves or to themselves that they are attractive and worthy of sympathy, and there is no question of real feelings.
Boredom
Non-self-sufficient people may just be bored without company. If a person has no interests, hobbies and affairs, talking with other people can be one of his main attractions. When a person does not develop as a person and a professional, does not pay attention to his own talents, he will be bored with himself.
In addition, there are individuals who receive energy from communication. After talking with such "vampires", others feel a certain decline in strength and spirit. But those who "fed" at the expense of the interlocutor, feel great. Tonus and drive, good mood are provided for some time, and then again there is a need for an exchange of energy.
