Loneliness is more a state of mind than anything else. A positive outlook can do wonders in allaying it.
- Doris Minezes
In today's 4G generation, when there are gadgets and smartphones, who stays alone? Everybody is busy on their phones; even the kids! Well, in this era everybody likes to connect with each other but only through social media.
Even when we meet someone after a long time, rather than speaking with the person's whereabouts, we are busy sending them friend requests or liking their posts. We all are alone but we do have friends through a virtual world.
We have hundreds and thousands of followers and friends on social media but rarely are those real friends or even so-called 'people'. Still, we give more value to the person in social media than that to a person sitting right next to us.
We love to be alone spending time with phones, in a spare time. And after the Covid outbreak; our work, our education, friends, get together and even parties are all happening in virtual mode. People are busier with the gadgets than the physical appearance.
Loneliness strives when they are fed up seeing the screen. People love watching online streaming of web shows, movies, and so on. Who has time now?
Everybody is alone in their homes, maybe staying single or with family. But everyone has one or the other things to do and all this happen in front of the screen. We don't see many faces in a day than we see in front of the screens.
The feeling of loneliness has started vanishing from the people's life. The people got other ways to attach with each other.
