YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe holiday season can be a time for community and family gatherings. But for some, it can be a season of more complicated feelings, including increased loneliness and isolation.
But, understanding the difference between being lonely and being alone is important, Dr. Jeremy Nobel of Project Unlonely, told the PBS NewsHour's Nicole Ellis. While the latter can enhance your health and confidence because it allows you to explore who you are and how you fit into the world beyond comparisons to others, the former is what often happens at the holidays.
“Being lonely is a very specific feeling of something missing, and what’s missing is the sense of connection to people at the level that you want to have that connection and in that gap between the social connections you aspire to and what you feel you have is what we call loneliness,” Nobel said.
This post was produced and edited by Casey Kuhn, Matt Rasnic, Nicole Ellis, Yasmeen Alamiri and Julia Griffin.
