Loneliness and the Psychological Perspective


They say one is the loneliest number and we all have times when we feel alone. We reach a point in time when we feel that one is the only number within our lives and feel that the only way to accomplish the goals and dreams we set for ourselves is achieved that way as an expedition of one to achieving what we feel at the time is the impossible.

We set out to face our problems on our own, confident in feeling we need to accomplish without the support of anyone else. We constantly struggle with the task at hand, facing many hardships and believe that in overcoming each obstacle to the task at hand is the only way to succeed. At times this is true…...which makes the triumphant victory of success that much sweeter.

But there are times when we need help...when doing it alone and struggling against the odds is more of an ends to defeat and disappointment and abandoning dreams, leaving them and one unfulfilled. And time is not limitless, and as more time passes and frustration turns to self-doubt of hopes for success we more than not surrender to defeat and abandon our dreams.

If the dream is worth obtaining, there is no shame in looking to others and asking for help. Dreams don’t simply die…for they are killed off by those who first dreamt them in the first place.

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength of one’s convictions. And when it’s offered, remember not to be ashamed of accepting it or thinking they didn’t believe in you to doing it on your own. Rather look at it as what it’s meant to be, a sign that they believed in you and proud that you looked for help in achieving your dream…rather than surrendering it.
