Distance causes the loneliness around

Loneliness is a general feeling for people. Everyone may have a lot of time to feel lonely in his or her life, even one can feel that way when surrounded by friends or even he or she is really an upbeat person. Nowadays, loneliness is spreading everywhere around the city. And the main reason to cause this feeling occur will be the difference between people. The Distance can be divided into two aspects, psychological and geographical. For example, using more and more digital communication and having real geographical distance between people.

Firstly, digital communication makes people feel lonely, such as facebook, msn and cell phone. It causes the inside distance between people alienated. Many people will be more willing to talk to others online or through text, even if they are very close. It less the time for people to have real communication that means face to face talk. Due to this, people will feel lonely when he or she turn down the computer or switch off the phone. Also, things like facebook may give people the false impression, which let people feel they have a lot of friends around.

Secondly, because of work or study, families or friends may live separately in different cities or different countries, so people will feel lonely when they can’t fit in the new place, also when they miss each other. Like international students, they study abroad, far away from their families. So when they come to a totally strange place, they will always be homesick, especially at night when they are alone. They miss their family, their friends and all the happiness things at home, so they become to feel lonely. And of course, these isolated individuals will feel most acutely alone on holidays, when most people are surrounded by family and friends.

To sum up, distance is the real thing that causes people feel lonely. So in order to overcome the loneliness, first, we should communicate with people more. Not through the computer or the cell phone, but rather to have face to face communication. Or if people are far away from home, they should call their family often and also not stop to make new friends wherever they go.
