Loneliness and old age. Unfortunately, today these two words have become almost synonymous. It is the elderly who are particularly acutely aware of their uselessness,
often falling into depression about this. They are constantly oppressed by the absence of a loved one next to them, a sense of weakness, and with it
hopelessness. The problem of loneliness in old age, no matter how paradoxical it may sound, occurs even in those who live with relatives.
Attachment to a particular person. This can be grandchildren, children, or even just a close friend. Such relationships will make it easier to cope with the
feeling of loneliness and gradually get out of isolation. And if that person cares about an elderly relative, he will definitely help him find new
friends and something to do, and thus finally overcome social loneliness.
Active immersion in society. The more often and more an older person communicates (no matter with peers or young people), the less he thinks about loneliness and his problems, especially with health.
Communication with animals. An alternative option for those who live alone and do not have the opportunity to communicate often with relatives or friends. In this case, he quickly "humanizes" his pet, shares his thoughts with him and gives him all the unspent love.
Coping with loneliness in old age is quite possible. You just need to listen to some advice from psychologists. They will help you break out of isolation and get rid of depression.
Be socially active. For most modern pensioners, a trip to the store or to the clinic is already considered a bright event against the background of the gray
everyday life of their passive existence in the circle of TV, old books and fresh newspapers. It doesn't sound very soft, but it is. But
everything can be changed, and quite simply. Walks in the park, new acquaintances, a game of dominoes or chess in the fresh air
"and no loneliness. In large cities, there are interest clubs, and collective classes are held in specialized centers. If you
don't have one, you can just sit on a bench with your neighbors and share the latest news (read ? gossip).
Create! (but don't get up to it!!!) Previously, many grandfathers could repair anything, and grandmothers could knit, sew, embroider. It was thanks to their
efforts that all the relatives were dressed in warm sweaters and socks, and in cold weather they were given scarves, mittens, and hats. More
in addition, the interior of the house was decorated with napkins, blankets, panels. Why is all this mentioned here? Just no one thinks how useful such
classes are, if you omit the practical side of the question. Fine motor skills of the hands stimulate the nervous system in general and the brain in particular.
It has a positive effect on all cognitive functions-attention, thinking, memory, which begin to fade with age. And solving crosswords,
Sudoku and other puzzles help to fight old age and give a lot of positive emotions.
Find a hobby. Who likes to do needlework-create, as it was written in the previous paragraph. It is quite possible that during the period of labor activity,
when you went to work, you simply did not have enough time for your favorite activities. Now everything has changed. You can live
on your own and devote yourself completely to your hobby. Moreover, find like-minded people-the same lovers and share your experience
and, of course, learn from them something new. Then you can definitely forget about loneliness. New ideas thrown up by friends will be so exciting that
there would be no time to think about him. No hobbies? Then try something new – wool paintings, origami, beads. Master and
become a master! And please your loved ones with handmade souvenirs. This will definitely improve your relationship.
Try to change your character. Just a little. Admit honestly, at least to yourself, that you have unpleasant traits in your character.
Yes, there are no perfect people, but you can get close to them. You just need to work on yourself a little. Try to control your behavior,
and especially the manifestation of negative traits. You will not notice how everything around you will change. A kind and positive person will not
just find new friends, he will attract people like a magnet.
