Loneliness is not always being alone. It is a feeling that can overwhelm you even when you are sitting in the middle of a crowded room. It is a feeling inside of us and our environment sometimes does not help us overcome it. It is like a tide in the waves of life, one that can quickly become very difficult to ride.
Studies prove that it is more dangerous to health to be socially alone than to smoke 15 cigarettes a day. Even in this time when the world has become our global village and everything and every person is just a click away, it is still much hard to communicate what we feel.
If you are tired of fighting this battle alone, these quotes here will make you feel that you are never truly alone. Indulge in the words to overcome your loneliness. If your loneliness has become too much to bear, it is okay to take some professional help.

Do Not Let Social Media Control You
The world today is under the control of social media. It is like an addiction and nobody can seem to get enough of it. But people are not always what they show. Behind these screens, many of us are facing the same problems but we do not like to show that side.
Don’t allow social media to control you. If you feel like you are feeling more lonely by using social media, it is time to log off and take a break.
Exercise Self-Love
Self-care is the first step towards self-love. Do what you love the most, learn to say no, eat healthily and fall in love with yourself before loving someone else.
Recap
Millions of people suffer from loneliness but it is not something uncurable. There are many ways to overcome your loneliness. Having the right person by your side matters the most when it comes to fighting loneliness and sometimes you yourself are the right person.
