These days, many people are becoming more lonely. Loneliness is often because people experience social isolation, which can happen for a variety of reasons, one of which is the pandemic. One of the most common reasons for isolation is introversion - the tendency to be shy or to spend time alone. Society has made it so that introverts are seen as weird or different from "normal" people. As a result, they may feel like they don't belong in society. This can lead to loneliness and feelings of not having any friends - which can be quite painful. Loneliness can also be triggered by many different events, such as - if one has recently lost a loved one, if one is physically separated from someone they are close to, or if one is away from home.
