The message is really sweet and uplifting! I’ve tried to live this out: reaching out to friends when I think of them, joining community groups. Unfortunately I haven’t had success and it has me feeling frustrated and even lonelier than before.

Try different places and meeting strangers in a park or library and enjoy some small talk. I find interacting with strangers often is more enjoyable then with people I know. Most people will engage in conversation even if its only for a few minutes. It is much healthier than being alone everyday.

@@Nature-Friend25 hard to forge friendships as an adult, everyone’s first questions are of judgement, not friendship, as they want something to gain.
As for OP, the counter-intuitive part of being the one having to do so ironically pushes them away ; ie it can come across as being needy unfortunately , in the west everyone is cursed by having to play a fake persona / politics. Ppl in the west always tend to have ulterior motives as they are rarely honest , just polite on a shallow level.

Childhood trauma must be a huge factor in these statistics of loneliness and isolation. The 20% number overlays perfectly. School curricula could be employed to address this on some levels, teaching connecting skills and resilience, as well as feedback and conflict resolution. Not all families are qualified to raise kids to healthy adulthood.

Nothing can replace genuine human connection. The problem is that people got less interesting with rise of technology. Hence the famous saying alone-together. It seems most human interactions became purely transactional, and in knowledge era we get bored and tired of others quickly. True love and friendship are a thing, but most people don’t realize what that really entails.

@@Hexicka yes, it’s also a symptom of having little to no community connection as well. True friendships are only forged during innocence (childhood). Friendships as adults are mutual , means to an end , transactional only , due to competition factor now matters. When you’re 7 there’s none of that , or fake politics at hand. And now we have no communities , most ppl I know all moved growing up as parents moved for jobs/work etc.

This is such an important conversation. We talk so much about physical and mental health, yet forget that social health is just as vital to our wellbeing. I love the 5-3-1 Rule-it makes connection intentional instead of accidental. Real relationships are the foundation of a fulfilled, meaningful life. 💖

There is no such thing as “social health”. It’s basically mental health that benefits from interacting with people.

The lifestyle you are describing (work first, relationships last) is what pretty much describes the way of life in US, a common cause of friction in interactions with people from other countries, where it is the opposite. We need to change our priorities. He who wins the most toys dies alone (and first)

Having a society that tells us that independence is strength and needing others is a weakness, its no wonder we are often uncomfortable reaching out to others even just for a cup of coffee and a conversation when its because we feel lonely. That’s when we have to just get outside and interact, whether its admiring the singing birds in the tree near by or talking to the other person sitting on the bench complimenting about the beautiful day. It doesn’t have to be personal, it just has to be a way for you to engage with real things or people in the moment. It all works the same way, IMO.

“Islam has taught this. That maintaining relationships can prolong one’s life.”
In Hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim, Anas ibn Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that whoever wishes for their sustenance to be expanded and age extended should be kind to their near relatives.

This message is such a powerful reminder 🌍💔 — in a world more connected than ever, so many people still feel completely alone. Real connection isn’t just about messages or likes; it’s about genuine presence, empathy, and care. Check on your friends. Call your family. Talk to your neighbors. Human connection isn’t optional — it’s essential for a healthy, meaningful life.
