You don’t have to relocate in London in order to suddenly feel alone . It could be to do with any sort of challenge in your life : a break-up a new job a significant birthday , marriage , kids. With eight million stranger to potentially convert into friends, you’d think loneliness would be impossible in London and yet Time out survey from 2017 found that London was the loneliest city in the world with 55 percent of Londoner confessing they feel lonely here sometimes. In fact according to a study by the co-op and the British Red Cross, more than 9 million people across UK are either always or often lonely. Loneliness does not discriminate by age, post code or demographics. Loneliness can be linked to feeling like you don’t have enough friends or the right friends. The first step is to take your socializing up to a notch. From there challenge yourself to do something towards feeling connected, which may mean taking a conversation with someone past the superficial level and really talking. This is what exactly what I’ ve being doing for the past year by ditching my safety behaviors and proactively chasing genuine connection. London is for though cookies , and find good friends it's
hard work but in the end very rewarding or let put it this way “ who find a friend finds a treasure “.
