Loneliness

You can be surrounded by others, work in a busy environment with colleagues or even have an active life in a city and still feel lonely. 1 in 10 workers feel lonely at work either all or most of the time, and nearly half experience loneliness at work some of the time.

Loneliness can impact

Loneliness can impact:

  • Your self-esteem and confidence, leading to more withdrawal and anxiety or avoidance from social situations. 
  • Your physical health from difficulty sleeping, a low mood that impacts self-care to a lack of desire to be active and move, which can then affect your immune system, blood pressure and more. 

Mind, the mental health charity, has helpful information on loneliness including tips for managing feelings of loneliness.
