Re: FYI: Loneliness Podcast

Gotta love Radio National. 'All in the mind' has some great stuff.

Thanks for the heads up Stan.

Can someone please post the link on that podcast again? I couldnt find it. I am

very interested because this is a major issue for me.

That is exactly how i felt in a relationshiip. When it was good , I would feel

secure. Then I would want to reach out and make social connections. When there

was no close relationship, I would wallow from full depression to unhappy

isolation.

The holidays are coming and I am alreay upset that I don't have a close

connection to someone that I can share intimate moments, holiday cheer and just

make fond memories. As well as express gratitude just for having each other.

I have been trying to find volunteer opportunities to make other people happy so

far no go. I have love in my heart but no where to put it.

We talked recently about how self-conceptualization can be a button to fusion.  I think here is a good example of self-conceptualization and looking to see if fusion is occurring.  Some of us may listen to this podcast and it ends up solidifying some self-conceptualizations we have ourselves such as

" I am a person who needs connections to significant other(s) in my life.  After all, I am human and it's in human nature.  A human is a social animal, I need need that connection to others " .Which may be true.  But whether true or not I think this is what the idea of self-conceptualization is about.  Question is are you fusing to this self-conception?  Are you looking at this thought or from it?

, I feel that way too.  I have an insecure attachment style, so I tend to feel very insecure in relationships, which makes it hard to stay in relationships (as I feel very needy and tend to expect too much). Thus, I get quite lonely.

 Thanks for sharing . It helps to know you're not alone in loneliness! (I've started volunteering, too.)
