The world is becoming more and more connected, but many people feel lonely in the midst of it. You might not feel lonely right now, but there might be times when you do. Here are some tips on dealing with loneliness:
Be positive about yourself. 1. If you constantly think of yourself as ugly, mean, or unattractive, then it will be difficult for you to connect with others. You must accept yourself before you can accept others. It’s common that you might have some negative qualities. So does everyone else. So in order to get rid of loneliness, you should focus on your positive side and think of yourself in a positive way.
Have an attitude of gratitude (感恩).2. It’s easy to focus on the negatives in life, but don’t forget that there are also many positives. Remember them and be thankful. What does this have to do with loneliness? Well, if you are grateful, then you will become cheerful.3. See the positive side of others. Just as you should see the positive side of yourself, you should also see the positive side of others. Everyone has shortcomings, but everyone also has a positive side.4. That will make you like them and make it easier for you to connect with them.
5. The more you think about yourself, the more likely it is for you to have a pity party and feel lonely. For example, you might think that nobody likes you or cares about you. So it’s important that you shift your attention away from yourself. It can be as simple as smiling at your neighbors or holding a door for a stranger.
A. Join a community group.
B. Do something for others.
C. Negative thoughts can kill you.
D. Instead, try to make more friends.
E. And that will attract people to you.
F. Count your blessings and be grateful for them.
G. So choose to value the positive aspects of them.
I’ve personally traveled through many countries that have had U.S. government warnings issued for them, and I’ve been perfectly safe. Specifically, in the last year, I have travelled safely to both the Philippines and Mexico, and traveled to many South Pacific islands during the tropical cyclone (热带气旋) season and only experienced two days of light rain in six months!. This is, of course, anecdotal, so it’s important that you do your research before booking your trip.
One thing I recommend doing is checking for recent posts on travel forums (论坛), such as Lonely Planet’s Thorntree, to see what people are saying about the country you’ll visit in terms of safety. The U.S. government may make out that an entire country is extremely unsafe when in reality, it’s a small part of it that tourists will be unlikely to visit. Read the travel warnings, too, to see which parts of the country the government recommends that you avoid.
Additionally, it’s worth speaking to your travel insurance provider before you leave to check that you’ll be covered during your travels to these countries. Some insurance .companies won’t cover you if there’s a severe warning for the country, but some will. Travel insurance is a necessity, so it’s definitely something to check out before you leave.
Keep in mind that the U.S. government will help you with emergency evacuation (撤离) from a troubled country, but it comes in the form of a repatriation (归国) loan via the Office of American Citizens Services and Crisis Management (ACS), which can be called to rescue you from a bad situation abroad. Remember by heart that you’ll have to wait overseas for the money to arrive and eventually repay the loan once you’re home safely. Just another reason to get travel insurance!
