Loneliness is unhealthy or is it a gift?

I was listening to a podcast recently on loneliness and they listed out the statistics that show scientifically that loneliness is unhealthy and can be deadly.

I agree to a point!

This podcast listed all the reasons why having healthy connections is paramount in living mentally and physically healthy and happily.

Here is the problem with this! It doesn’t always happen! Then what?

Many of us, try as we may, to have healthy, supportive family and friends can’t find them.

I’ve spoken to many others who also have this experience.

Just because you don’t have this, doesn’t mean something is wrong with you! It often is a sign that you are healthy!

That’s right! More people are unhealthy than healthy!

Many people who have been courageous and taken the journey to face their shadows, their traumas, and their stories are finding that it can be a solo lifestyle!

Most people do not journey inward enough to face those demons. Most people do not. They might only do surface-level healing.

The idea of loneliness is seen as painful or pitiful, unevolved, and as if something is wrong with you.
