Notice the vicious cycle you're stuck in

Notice the vicious cycle you're stuck in

Try to recognise the vicious cycle you may be trapped in. 

  • Accept that loneliness is a normal feeling. Everybody feels lonely at some point.
  • Examine what you focus your attention on. Check if you selectively focus on negative things.

  • Can you risk being open and vulnerable again?
  • Do you avoid being around others to protect yourself?
  • Have you become complacent with your situation?
