Loneliness

The feeling of loneliness that we all feel deeply in today's world is one of the most active emotions underlying human biology. Our ancestors, who experienced this emotion, which has its origins centuries ago, constantly tried to adapt to a group to be strong and survive. In this period, being ostracized is the emotion that people fear most, so they had to get along with the other members of the group all the time, even if they didn't like them.

This situation continued in Europe in the Middle Ages under the leadership of the Pope. The Church has given people a limited world by setting certain rules. Although people accepted this limited world for the first time, the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution that followed caused people to stare at individualism and its advantages.

Although loneliness has many advantages, it also brings some disadvantages. The depression and stress brought on by this situation are seen in all age ranges. These psychological problems, especially seen in young people, cause serious damage to public health. Public authorities should provide seminars and training on coping with loneliness to all people, especially the older generation. Because loneliness is one of the most important problems of the modern world and it is an important issue to determine the solutions and treat the disease.

Regardless of age, all people need to give importance to this issue and the areas of social activity should be increased by the municipalities. With the right coordination and work, the harmful effects of loneliness can be reduced and people can lead a happier life.
