Feeling Lonely? You're Not Alone – How Loneliness Affects You and Others

Feeling Lonely? This video explain how loneliness is more than a feeling — it affects the mind, body, and spirit. Research shows that prolonged loneliness can increase stress, weaken immunity, heighten anxiety and depression, and even change how the brain processes social connection.

In this video, we explore:
✔ What loneliness really is (and what it is NOT)
✔ The difference between being alone and feeling alone
✔ Why loneliness is rising across age groups
✔ The three key kinds of connections you need for your well-being
✔ Practical steps to rebuild meaningful connection — even if you don’t know where to start
✔ How to connect with others who are lonely.

If you have ever felt disconnected, misunderstood, or invisible, this video is for you. Loneliness is not a personal failure — it’s a human signal that we need connection, support, and belonging.
