Loneliness is part of the human condition. Evolution wired us for connection. Unlike our ancestors, we no longer live in a tribe or clan in close proximity with other people. In most western societies, we try and fulfill this drive for connection by finding the “one,” a single individual who we believe will fulfill and complete us. When we struggle to find love, we assume there must be something wrong with us – which amplifies our feelings of loneliness. In this two-part Dating Essentials for Men Q&A Podcast series, Dr. Glover, examines some of the factors that contribute to feelings of loneliness. He also offers solutions for dealing with and overcoming loneliness. Most importantly, Dr. Glover stresses not mistaking feelings of loneliness for personal defectiveness or proof that one is unlovable.
