      Yes, I definitely identify with some of the effects mentioned. I found myself in a new country as Covid hit and our area was in isolation for almost two years. All the effects of loneliness and lack of social relations impacted my life in a negative way.

      I agree with the content of this video.

      It can however be difficult to achieve while working long hours in highly competitive and ego cetric environments.

      I often seem to understand people without forming any deeper bonds with them. I did have a more crippling social anxiety some ten years ago, and I did suffer from Leukemia at the age of 23 – when all the statistics point towars the lowest incidence number throughout the age groups. I did not connect both things back then. Needless to say, I had quite a few visits from friends, surprising ones from those whom I did not expect, but also disappointing ones. I survived and I survived “well” without any major repercussion, for which I am really thankful. And because I don’t want to talk your ears off: The sickness helped me to develop some urgently needed confidence. So I am actually quite well today. Still, in a lot of social environments, I feel like a cork that is being pushed underwater, only to emerge right back. So I hope I find some tips here on how to connect more easily and naturally with others, as I already know the importance of it.

      Yes, during the quarantine due to the Corona epidemic, my husband  and I severed all family and friendship ties, and our work relationship was severed due to teleworking. These factors greatly damaged both my body and soul and the marital relationship between us. He did a lot

      I can completely relate. Felt like I could never relate to anyone in life. The very rare times I could it do feel good.

      Absolutely Juju721! When the virus crisis hit, after a month into the global isolation I begun inviting close friends to enjoy each other’s company. We agreed that we did have a scare but refuse to fear all the time. Embraced with love on arrival/departure, ate/drank together, sometimes 20+ of us. No one infected, everyone balanced and happy. Over the “second wave”, however, my friends got the cold feet, our parties ceased “until vaccination”. Despite working from home, somehow all but me got infected and successfully healed.
      With physical social life gone, I press on disallowing myself to worry or “feel” lonely. Took up remote volunteer work, do gardening, place frequent calls to family/friends/acquaintances all over the world. Listening to how they feel, clowning to get them smile and immersing in the Kabbalah courses/zoom group meetings have helped me to keep fear, depression and – so far – the virus at bay. It seems indeed that loving focus on others can be the best preventive “medication”, too ;-).
