Being Alone

Being Alone
by Rose

Loneliness brings depression, overthinking and anxiety. During quarantine, lots of people feel this way because of social distancing. We can't really physically interact with our friends as we normally do. Loneliness is the feeling of being isolated. Loneliness has little to no human interaction or company which is bad for the human brain. My cure for this is calling a close friend or family member to see if they would like to hang out (while following the safety protocols). Also, find things that make you happy and go outside for fresh air or a run. Exercise always makes people feel good and better about themselves. I also say that social media can help because it is a social platform where you're not alone. In addition, listening to upbeat music always lifts one’s spirit up because it removes the sadness away.
