Disintegration of
childhood/adolescent close friend circle due to geographical dislocation
because of profession, break down of joint family system & small family
norms is pushing individuals into social isolation, living alone & suffer
from loneliness till such time the person is able to re-establish his/her identity
amongst the new community & strike real friendships for much needed person
to person connect. The prolonged loneliness & lack of people to people
connect proves to be an emotional & psychological drain resulting in development
of mental disorders like mood blues, anxiety, depression and suicidal tendency.
The person gets entrapped in enhanced virtual digital connect on social media,
addictive behavior like smoking, drinking, drugs etc. to cope up with the
stress thus affecting his/her mental & physical health. Effective professional
psychological counseling, robust social support system, bonding with family
& extended family helps the person talk without inhibition, spending time
with nature/outdoors, pursuing passion/hobby, joining cultural organizations
and indulgence in social service helps the person find new friend circle to
cope with his/her isolation and loneliness.
