Loneliness

We gather every week for an evening of discussion and personal storytelling, centered around topics related to psychology, existence, emotional well-being, and self-development. During the discussions, we like to focus on genuine human connection and the topic itself without distractions, therefore, we always meet at cafés. The topic for this week will be Loneliness. When do you feel the most lonely? Is it when you’re involuntarily by yourself, or perhaps in the presence of others? Maybe something completely different? Is loneliness always a bad thing, or can it also serve a purpose? Can it even be beneficial? Have you ever realized after a time of loneliness that you learned something from it? And if so, what did you learn? Is loneliness still loneliness even if you choose it?
