Loneliness
Loneliness and Solitude
As Baby Boomers edge into their golden years, many find themselves experiencing more alone time than they’ve been accustomed to. This new phase can initially feel unsettling, but it doesn’t have to stay that way.
In fact, solitude can be an empowering and liberating experience, opening doors to self-discovery and personal Growth. Learning how to appreciate and utilize this alone time constructively can dramatically enhance the quality of life for Baby Boomers as well as other generations like Generation X and Generation Z.
Loneliness is a universal human emotion, complex and unique in its experience to each individual. It is characterized by a deep sense of isolation and disconnection from others, impacting mental and physical health. Understanding loneliness is crucial for fostering better personal Relationships and community bonds as our experts in this area of the site explore. Emotional loneliness arises when one misses the close emotional attachment of a significant other, like a best friend or a partner. Social loneliness, on the other hand, is felt when one lacks a broader social network. Often, loneliness is less about the actual absence of others and more about the perceived quality of one’s relationships. It is possible to feel lonely in a crowd if the connections with others are not meaningful.
Loneliness as we grow older is caused many times by the loss of family and friends. One effective way to combat loneliness is to deepen existing relationships through quality time and meaningful interactions.

As a psychotherapist, I’m always open to ways we can feel less anxious and alone. Some of us have a destressing toolbox which might include yoga, meditation, crafting, pets and the like. I’d like to add one that is a bit less conventional. Thrift stores provide a kind of mini community and sense of shared purpose (the thrill of the hunt) that’s important in times like these. We’re in the middle of an epidemic of loneliness, and I find that frequenting my local thrift is a way of feeling less isolated. There’s no pressure to have long involved conversations with fellow thrifters. Inst…
