Solitude vivifies; isolation kills. Through out life in this crazy mind ridden world, people find themselves isolated. Isolation rears its ugly head in various forms and can often be unexpected. Whether it be personal gain unachieved, or conflicts of love or hate, people deal with this sort of abandonment. Self created or felt from another persons doing, this separation of ones being must be dealt with.

In the novel “Of Mice and Men” Steinbeck successfully displays the many social situations in which loneliness manifests itself. He also shows us how loneliness affects people and their behaviour and personalities through use if his characters. Isolation is the cause of loneliness, so I will be using the word throughout my essay. There are situations in which society isolates a person, or type of person, and makes them lonely, and sometimes isolation and loneliness is self inflicted. In this essay I will explain many of these situations of loneliness that Steinbeck presents us with and the effects it has on people – on their behaviour and personality, the characters he uses to represent these situations and effects.
The greatest problem the two face is loneliness. The pair may not have much, but they have each other. Even though they have each other, do they really have each other? Several characters in the novel experience loneliness through isolation as outcasts. Lennie, Crooks, and Curley’s Wife have all been branded as outcasts for the same reason; they are all different.
Complaints frequently include a loss of interest and pleasure, and withdrawal from activities. Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, anxiety, and shame are reported because individuals with major depression view their illness as a moral deficiency. Physical symptoms that suggest emotional distress include unexplained weight loss or weight gain, disturbed sleep, decreased energy, poor eye contact, monosyllabic speech, and indifference to pleasure or joy (Human Diseases, 2006). Subcategories of depression include seasonal affective disorder, postpartum depression, dysthymia, and premenstrual dysmorphic disorder. Seasonal affective disorder is believed to be due to decreased sunlight exposure during the winter months.
Discuss one or more explanations of the breakdown of Romantic Relationships The breakdown of romantic relationships is a long-term psychological process involving internal reflection, discussion with a partner, consultation with social networks. Duck suggested there are three main reasons for why a relationship breaks down. Lack of skills suggests that partners may lack the interpersonal skills to make relationships work. For instance, individuals who lack social skills may not be very good conversationalists and thus may be unrewarding in their interactions with other people. The lack of social skills may end a relationship early or prevent one from starting.
does a laCk oF lIFe meanIng Cause Boredom? results From psyChometrIC, longItudInal, and experImental analyses Shelley a. FahlMaN, KiMberley b. MerCer, Peter GaSKoVSKi, aDrieNNe e. eaStWooD, aND JohN D. eaStWooD existential theory and previous qualitative research have suggested that a lack of life meaning and purpose causes boredom, as well as other types of negative affect such as depression or anxiety. although these variables have been shown to be correlated at one point in time, the relationships among these constructs have not been investigated using a controlled, quantitative research design. in Study 1a (N = 131), boredom was shown to be related to, yet psychometrically distinct from, life meaning, depression, and anxiety. in Study 1b (N = 88), life meaning significantly predicted changes in boredom across time while depression and anxiety did not.
Symptoms of depression can vary depending on the type of person they may be. Here are some common types of depression; feelings of hopelessness and a pessimistic outlook on life, guilty feelings or feeling worthless, and irritability or thoughts of suicide. People, who have an illness, have trouble admitting they have a problem and require help. Clinical depression is one of the most common types of depression. Chronic illness can also lead to depression.
These “perceived deficits”, I then call “frozen needs” that “victims” then hanker after getting met for the rest of their lives. These “frozen needs” then give rise to a sense of “neediness” (or “love-starvation”) which gives rise to repetitious attempts to satisfy that “neediness” which, when they fail or are only partially successful, give rise to feelings of “loneliness”, even if that those feelings of “loneliness” are substantially out of awareness. And, from chronic experiences of “loneliness” are born “obsessions”, “compulsions” and “addictions”. These “obsessions”, “compulsions” and “addictions” then conspire to make real “empathy” and “intimacy” difficult, if not impossible, creating new “victims” of “need deficit” and conspiring to keep existing “victims” stuck. Good Enough Parents, Empathy, Intimacy and Life Skills “Good enough parents” (and other adult care-providers, including schoolteachers) will always find ways of ensuring a child’s “core needs” are “well enough met” long before such “unmet needs” become intolerable to the child.
This may result in discrimination, resulting in exclusion from jobs, an income, limited education, lack of social and community opportunities and possibly feeling powerless’ (Europa, 2003). A structural view from Field (1989) and Dahrendorf (1987) who believe it is the structures in society that exclude people. Another, interpretation from the Social Exclusion Unit London (SEU) states social exclusion is 'a shorthand label for what can happen when individuals or areas suffer from a combination
