Connection and Loneliness
by Teresia Smith

Recently someone who was going through a stressful time mentioned to me that they didn’t have anyone in which they truly could confide. I asked about the friends they socialize with and about the many social media contacts they have and they just shrugged and said no. There have been many people over the years who have expressed loneliness to me, even though they appear to be well connected online. Social media has made us feel linked with the world but in reality, those are not true relationships. Our world seems very connected, though in reality, more than ever before, we are further isolated. So, what exactly is loneliness and how did we get here?
