Loneliness, isolation, and low self-esteem can deeply affect your emotional well-being. At Killian Counseling Services LLC, we understand how these challenges often intertwine, creating a difficult cycle. Our compassionate team is here to help you break that cycle and build a more fulfilling life.
What Are Loneliness and Isolation?
Loneliness is the feeling of being disconnected from others, even when you’re around people. This can result from major life changes, such as moving to a new city, ending a relationship, or losing someone close to you. Over time, this feeling can lead to isolation, where you start to withdraw from social interactions and avoid connecting with others.
Isolation—whether chosen or due to circumstances—can make feelings of sadness and anxiety worse. It often leaves you feeling misunderstood and unworthy of connection, which can further damage your self-esteem.
How Low Self-Esteem Plays a Role
Low self-esteem usually begins with negative thoughts about yourself. When you feel inadequate or unworthy, it’s hard to build and maintain relationships. This creates a cycle: loneliness can make your self-esteem worse, and low self-esteem can make you feel more isolated.
You might think, “Why would anyone want to be around me?” or “I’m not good enough for a relationship.” These thoughts can keep you from reaching out to others, making you feel even more isolated.
