Our 20s can be the loneliest decade of our lives. Wait, what?
A lot of young people in their 20s experience a peak of loneliness after they graduate from college or university. It’s the first time where we don’t have a built-in system anymore of being told what to do and seeing our friends on a daily basis. This is why I sat down with therapist Nicole Nowparvar to discuss what loneliness means, where it comes from, and how we can feel less lonely 💛
If you read this and are currently feeling lonely, I’m sending over a virtual hug to you and I deeply hope you’ll feel better soon - hope this video will help a little 💛
