LONELINESS GET TO YOU-WIN OVER IT. Humans are social beings who thrive on social interactions. The Covid-19-induced pandemic had led to the practice of isolation, social distancing, and
stress. The isolation impacted our social world and deprived us of a companion, leading to loneliness. While many have adjusted to the new ‘normal’, there are many who find being alone
difficult. Being alone is not always bad. RECOMMENDED STORIES You can learn so much about yourself, discover your passion, and learn about your likes and dislikes as well. Here are some
effective ways to feel less lonely – 1. NURTURE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOURSELF Some people might find being alone challenging. But, use this opportunity to your advantage and unravel new
things about yourself. You can journal, or draw about your feelings, your insecurities, your goals, etc. 2. NEW LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES Your solitude-ness can be converted into an opportunity
for you to learn and hone a new skill. You can create, read, and take up a course online. 3. GO ON DATES WITH YOURSELF Take yourself out for a movie or explore that cafe or restaurant you
have been wanting to visit eagerly. Go on a long drive. You can also go on a hike and explore nature and do trekking. 4. VOLUNTEER As per a 2020 study in the United Kingdom, participants
