Loneliness can often feel like an invisible barrier, separating us from the world around us.
We believe talking about loneliness can help others who feel lonely understand they’re not alone. We also believe that sharing personal stories can be helpful in making sense of an experience and learning new ways to build meaningful social connections.
Before sharing your story, we encourage you to think about:
- What is the purpose for sharing my story?
- What message do I want others to receive from my story?
- How do I want people to feel after reading my story?
- Am I comfortable with my story being publicly accessible?
- What support do I have in place if writing my story raises difficult feelings? Our support page lists 24/7 helplines should you wish to speak with someone.
