A dialogue with belonging experts and licensed clinicians: Ashleigh Hala and Jessica Gifford. For many of us, it is hard for us to feel like like we belong to something or know if we are making genuine connections with people or if we belong. Do people even like us? These feelings of ill-belonging can contribute to feeling alone and disconnected. We want to help address that, especially now during this time of high isolation.
In this episode, we explore the loneliness epidemic in America and practical ways for young adults to become connected despite this time of isolation and disconnection.
We also explore the difference between being alone and loneliness.
