    Die Psychologie legt nahe, dass die einsamsten Menschen im Leben normalerweise nicht die Ausgestoßenen sind, sondern eher die freundlichen, kompetenten und immer verfügbaren Menschen, die jeder schätzt, die aber fast niemand anruft, um zu fragen, wie es ihnen geht, weil sie zu stark zu sein scheinen, um Pflege zu brauchen

    Psychology suggests that the loneliest people in life are not usually the outcasts, but rather those kind, competent, and always-available individuals whom everyone values, but whom almost no one calls to ask how they are doing because they seem too strong to need care

      This is me. Even in college, I remember talking with some people about my struggles and they were shocked that I was lonely and depressed because I was as they say, good looking, intelligent, and kind to everyone.

      I’m a bubbly person. Always happy to help. Always have a smile. But I struggle inwardly a lot with depression, every day feels harder and harder for me, but what really makes me feel lonely is that none of my friends ever ask me how I’m doing mentally. I’m their person to lean on, but it never goes the other way because those around me wear their depression on their sleeve and receive all the concern. But because I’m such a people pleaser and I am always presenting bubbly, no one even recognizes when I recluse myself, they just assume I’m busy and don’t even check in. My husband is here and recognizes it (which is why he is ultimately my best friend) but it becomes so much harder and hurts when you’re friends never check in when it comes to a happy presenting persons mental health.

      Before an influx of redditors come here to justify their loneliness: this is just a click bait title that has nothing to do with psychology and suggesting shit. Real psychology doesn’t „suggest“ things, it just points out evidence just as science does.

      This website seems like a click bait haven, just regurgitated garbage and misleading word soups.

      > Acts of kindness can genuinely lift people up. A Psychology Today piece by social psychologist Natalie Kerr notes research showing that kindness can make people feel happier and “less lonely,” which helps explain why volunteering can feel like a reset button after a stressful week.

      But the only posts of Natalie Kerr in Psychology Today related to loneliness are just self anecdotal experiences, there is no science, no research:

      > Performing random acts of kindness can make us feel happier and more connected—and can brighten someone else’s day, too. These acts of kindness don’t have to be big. You can put a quarter into an expired parking meter, pick up a piece of litter, return a grocery cart to the corral, write an online review for your favorite restaurant, or give someone a compliment. Being kind is a great way to remember that we’re all in this together.

      Then they proceed to use a study that tries to measure loneliness based on the surroundings of individuals:

      > A 2026 study in the journal Health & Place found that adults living near more vegetation and higher “species richness” tended to report lower loneliness, pointing to urban greening and biodiversity as potential allies for public health as cities also try to cool down and cut emissions.

      So where does this conclusion that „psychology suggests“ comes from? Maybe straight off their asses because I couldn’t find scientific evidence.

      Edit: the downvotes are just a sad reflection of how scarce „critical thinking“ is. You are letting clickbaity blogs think for you and that is just sad…

      As great as you might be, if you’re always available, I think you’re naturally going to be devalued. We value rarity over the common, even if the common is amazing.
