Dealing With Isolation

!: Dealing With Isolation

We as a human being have so many strange instincts as well are living with people but still feeling alone, or working in an office but still feel like no on is there to listen to you and so on. The sense of isolation is more prominent in Western societies as these people have confined themselves in their shells, and no one bother to show any interest in talking with neighbors or of least concerned about what is going on the street or neighborhood or even in your own home. These feelings of loneliness and isolation is not usual, there are various factors which cause people to behave like this. Let us discuss some of them:

Economic Migration

You have often observed that people living in villages and small towns are well aware of their neighbors, families live alongside each other and people knew everyone living in that particular community. This thing is not common in large cities, where people don't even know who is living next door. People in countryside do have their own stresses and stains, but they have someone to work with and look out for each other.

Economic Independence

This can irritably be another isolating factor. This is very common in women as in past few years; the women have become so independent. Depression is just not cause by living alone, but living in stressed conditions and low mood triggers it substantially.

Divorce or Separation

This really has a drastic impact on children. It becomes difficult for children to adjust in step families. Children in this case are more prone to depression and eventually isolation.

Children

When children grow up, they feel that they are now independent to make their decision and feel little insecure in living with parents so they leave them just for the sake of their independence.

Spiritual Isolation is on the Increase

Spiritual isolation is aroused due to lack of faith as we are living in materialistic world with secular beliefs. It is estimated that only 3 percent of Britons attend church regularly. Materialistic approach towards leads us to nowhere and for us there is no purpose of life except to have material comforts. Spiritually disguised person usually feels so alone as he doesn't have anyone to help him getting out of this state.

The best way to cope with your isolation is self-belief and self-motivation. Whenever you feel down and isolated, think that there are so many other people in this world who feel the same way. There are so many ways to lessen your loneliness; you can use them to get out of your depressed and isolated condition. Visit your friends; try to have fun with them.

You can also join any coaching class, such as dance, art, gardening, writing, exercise and cooking classes. Joining these classes will let you mingle with different people and this gradually makes a bond, which help to decrease your isolation.
