Loneliness involves taking the time to feel, and why not? To love each other.
Stop comparing yourself with an edited photo/video, and one of the biggest damages we do to ourselves on the internet is to compare ourselves with photos or videos from someone else's life, without being aware that they are edited, that they do not fully correspond to reality... That is, they are edited, they do not respond to a faithful reflection of reality.
Let's see in practice, when you face a sculptural body, that one that does not have cellulite, fat or any visible defect and then you go to the mirror or sit down and observe your real body, a strong shock occurs. The point is that you are not making a fair comparison.
That person you see on social networks chose the photo, or the video from among many options, then edited it to surely improve aspects that he did not love and offers you a perfected product that you are going to compare with your real life, undoubtedly the comparison does not play in your favor.
Let's see, and it's not that you can't improve, get closer to the goal you want. But I promise you that NO ONE IS PERFECT (not in their life, not in their bodies), we all have things that we don't like, only as long as you can edit them or keep them silent others don't find out.
I recently met up with a good friend and she told me that she was doing well financially, but something she was living through made her feel lonely and empty. I asked him, why do you feel this way? She, she replied, that she felt that everyone was with her for interest, for money, even her family, and that she wanted at least to be asked how are you feeling? But no, almost all the topics of conversation only revolve around money and material things, of which, she has to solve.
My friend tells me that the worst thing for her is that "she built that hell herself" for which she feels responsible, and now she doesn't know how to get out of it.
Pity does not serve anyone... it's time to change the way we relate to each other…
Is the price and also the slavery of power.
Being the ATM so that they finally don't value you at all, is complicated, because the family is not going to change the focus, to cover the basics and the sumptuary, changes take a long time.
I reflect on what my friend is going through, and I put myself in her place for a moment, because before, I, with less age, thought that the ideal was to be a housewife: take care of the children, maintain the home, while my husband was the one who provided financially.
I saw it that way because my family has always been traditional. Of course, this of what I write only remains in my imaginary mind, because it was never like that, I was a housewife and a professional, working a lot and being a provider (ATM) to help and raise my family.
Now that I am an older woman and I see how the economy is doing, in my country Venezuela, I realize that a household with only one income is unsustainable. Besides, I completely depend on someone, neither before, nor now, I see it X.
More than once we will have to pass by the impossible of others. As Neville Goddard said, "Your wishes deserve respect." Today, I bow my head to my heart.
