What is Loneliness? The wiki says, \”Loneliness is a complex and usually unpleasant emotional response to isolation or lack of companionship. Loneliness typically includes anxious feelings about a lack of connectedness or communality with other beings, both in the present and extending into the future. As such, loneliness can be felt even when surrounded by other people. The causes of loneliness are varied and include social, mental or emotional factors.\” Every human being alive must have gone through the phase of loneliness at least once. Like defined, it can be either social, mental or emotional factor. For grown ups, when they closed ones expires, they will feel the very same but more in a matured manner. For the teens and the youth, loneliness comes from break ups. But what more serious about loneliness is, it will have a bad impact on certain people. Some will lose their self confidence. Some will have a strange sort of fear and they mostly reside to themselves in four walls. Some will put their talent in question as in they will stop doing what they are doing thinking they aren\’t good enough. On the other side, for creative people loneliness and depression might bring the best out of them. Having said that, I firmly believe everyone is creative in one way or the other.
Loneliness, depression and confidence are closely related. Like I said, loneliness will affect the self confidence of some people and they will stop doing what they are good at. First and foremost, everyone should understand loneliness is just a phase. Its JUST A PHASE. Not all through your life you would be feeling this. May be yeah, you can feel loneliness a repeated number of times. Also, one should always remember you will have only YOURSELF at the end of the day. As far as I am concerned, I feel loneliness when I badly need a companion to talk and everyone around is busy. I feel loneliness right now because I just had a sort of \’break up\’ and my close friends are hardly talking to me. Like everyone who goes through the similar phase, I too do the same crazy stuffs. But I am not putting my talent behind me. I know I am good at writing and that is why you are reading this. I know I am passionate about films and I can do good enough to have a career and that is why I am writing random scripts. I am not saying it didn\’t affect my self confidence. It did take a huge blow but I have faith in myself. You simply cannot lose it for anyone! You know what you are. You know what you are good at and what are you weak points. You dont want anyone to point out your negatives.
Some people are looking forward to a career in which they think can do good. But just because they are having an off time, the build up they have been doing are being cut off half way. What are you going to gain? Unless and until you are not willing to sharpen your skill, there is not point in having talent. Like Navjoth Singh Sidhu told a couple of days back in the TV \”Talent is nothing without opportunity\”. If you can\’t find an opportunity, create one for yourself. The world has advanced enough by all sorts to create opportunities on your own. Also keep in mind, when you do the thing you love the most and let the world see it, you wouldn\’t feel lonely because you are doing what you love. You just cant complaint then!
You can be sentimental, you can be whining about your past, you can say in tears that you are doing to die, you can say you are not going to do what you are best at anymore. But whatever you say shouldn\’t be in your memories after you are finished being emotional. In that way, you also get mentally stronger. I personally think people who are giving pain undergo this emotional stress more than the people at the receiving end. They fear being cursed and they also know they have cut a bad/rude figure of themselves. If you think what you are doing is right, go ahead with it but also keep in mind being too rude and belittling one\’s feelings are not going to take you or anyone anywhere. Life is a boomerang, people.
Feeling lonely? Get out or sit inside. But do what you like the most. Show it to the world.
