Understands how you are currently feeling or what you're going through
Do you feel like you can't tell anybody or talk to anybody in the world right now?
Do you think and feel like you have no true friends? Let's find out in this video if you are
currently
Lonely loneliness can have a negative effect on your well-being
Loneliness can lead to depression and many other problems in your life
The strange thing is though if you are feeling lonely or you think you are lonely you are
Not alone. That sounds crazy right? I know probably what you're currently thinking Charlie
That's the most ridiculous and stupid thing you have ever
Said that's crazy Charlie
But give me one minute to explain why that is not crazy millions upon millions of people
Around the world are currently lonely and feeling exactly like you
I know that doesn't change how you're currently feeling and I know it does not change your loneliness
However, it's nice to know isn't it that you are not alone?
feeling lonely and that other people are
Experiencing and feeling exactly what you are currently feeling
it also means and shows that what you are going through does not mean you're
Crazy because millions and millions of other people are going through it, too
Here are four signs. You are lonely number one you shop a lot a study of
2500 people over six years found that lonely people often have a strong urge to
accumulate possessions and focus on
material things to fill a void in their lives
The study found that people who are lonely go shopping as it temporarily
Lifts their mood. However, this is a very temporary thing and it doesn't last long at all
number 2
binge watching
TV next episode next

episode
Binge watching TV shows all movies is a technique you may use to distract yourself
from your feelings of loneliness or depression it takes your mind off how you're currently
Feeling so if you are pressing next
next next next
More often than you usually normally would then it could be a sign that you are either extremely lonely or depressed
Number 3 you're taking long hot showers or baths to be fair
I could take a long hot bath right now
sounds
amazing
Few candles around the outside of the baths a little yellow duck with my bubbles
Just floating around in there with me
Sounds like perfection. Does that sound like perfection to you, too?
let me know in the comment section down below right now a study in 2013 found that people who are
experiencing
Sensations of loneliness were more likely to take long hot showers or baths as it may then feel
immediately better the study found that we feel lonelier when we are cold, but more socially
Satisfied when we feel and are warm number four you are currently
depressed studies have shown that depression and loneliness
Tend to go hand-in-hand
Together with each other. I want to actually put this to the test and I want to hear from you guys and girls right now
To see if this is true if you feel currently depressed and you have been diagnosed with depression
Do you feel lonely?
Let me know in the comment section down below right now and let's put this to the test
So those are the four hidden signs you are lonely
Did you get any of the four signs we have gone over in this video?
I had a couple I'm not gonna lie
But I didn't actually think that I felt lonely or I'm suffering from loneliness
So it was interesting for me to go over those four signs because I could relate to at least
Two of them how many of the four signs could you relate to?
