Loneliness is an unpleasant feeling in which a person feels a strong
sense of emptiness and solitude resulting from inadequate social
relationships. Loneliness is a natural phenomenon, since humans are
social creatures by nature. Loneliness has also been described as social
pain — a psychological mechanism meant to alert an individual of
isolation and motivate her/him to seek social connections. People can
experience loneliness for many reasons and many life events may cause
it, like the lack of friendship relations during childhood and
adolescence, or the physical absence of meaningful people around a
person. At the same time, loneliness may be a symptom of another social
or psychological problem, such as chronic depression
