Overcrowded Loneliness

Today world is a busy world. Nobody has any time for any one. We are overcrowded by so many people. However when the need comes no one is there to help us. For everyone their own work is more important than us. This is true up to some extent with us also. We have every kind of media available for our entertainment still many times we have nothing to watch or listen. Recent years we have advanced in many fields. If we compare our self with the people 30 years back than we are very advanced and busy than them. Facilities wise we have more than them. In every way we are in good condition than them, therefore we are required to be happier than them.
However, the realities are some different from it. People are very busy still they are more alone than peoples 30 year back. Every one is running from here and there, even then they are not able to complete their daily tasks. More and more entertainment channels are coming up to entertain us. As compared with the people of 30 years back we have more ways to be in contact with our friends. We have mobiles, e-mails, chats and voice chats. What to everyone’s surprise there are more number of people who feel alone as compared to their friends 30 year back. For example when I bought my mp3 player, I thought that I never be bore again. Now I have so much choice of music to listen. However with in two months I also started becoming bore with my mp3 player.
Life has become so competitive that we are always short of time. We are over burdened by the expectations of others. Chances of getting defeat at work place or in relation are more these days. Today the number of people who carry on single job and partner are becoming less. At jobs they are not able to maintain speed with others and felt lonely. In relations also they are not able to provide the required time. In toady world the comparison is increasing, we compare our self and other compare us. Our boss compares us, our wife compares us and more importantly we compare our self with others. The only difficulty with this comparison is that their expectation from us and our from our selves increases.
When we are not able to fulfill these expectations which are difficult task in today’s world, we feel alone and discarded. 30 years back very less of people go outside their home for work. Therefore in difficulties and emotional disturbance they have their family and friends sport. However, it is not so with today’s generation. Today’s loneliness is more dangerous in many ways because it increases the wrong feelings in one’s mind. Some opt for suicides, some lose their mental balance and others indulge in antisocial activities. Which is bad I all ways for society as a whole. Below are the some of ways by indulging in them we can decrease our loneliness.
1) Have some creative work for free time like writing, painting or dancing.
2) Give your life some small and achievable goals.
3) Try to work on your interest rather on the others expectation. We really enjoy what we like.
4) Help other is settling their life.
5) Indulge in social activities.
6) Make more and more friends, but never forget friends who are real and helped us.
7) Take some correspondence studies according to your interest.

I can relate
I liked this post. Sometimes when I am alone, I am not lonely. But when I am in a room full of people I can ache with loneliness.

One thing we've lost ...
... is our ability to take people's bad with the good. If something or someone disappoints us, it's easy to toss that thing or person on the trash heap. There's always another channel, another blog, another boyfriend.
One of the reasons advanced for why the Depression/WW II generation in America accomplished so much and had such low rates of divorce and other symptoms of personal and social disorder - they had just about everything possible thrown at them and survived, so they could embrace the good times of the 50s and early 60s without allowing minor discomforts to distract them. Hubby can go on that weekend shooting trip even though I hate hunting. We survived him being away two years being shot at by Nazis in Italy.
Now, I read, people get depressed, anxious, angry, because their New York apartment isn't like Seinfeld's - and the apartment shown in Seinfeld is unrealistic for anyone except millionaire standup comedians.
Yes, go out, make new friends. But if those friends are just a fresh set of channels ...
Yes people have become less responsive to difficult
situation. They get angry with small issues and situations.
