The psychologist named one of the reasons for prolonged loneliness

"During the period of transformation, it really happens that we lose the old circle of friends, hobbies, values, but a new one has not yet been found. And that's okay. And the main secret lies in understanding a person," the expert explained in an interview with Radio 1.

According to the expert, a person whose loneliness is the norm will justify his condition by saying that no one can be trusted.

"Such decisions happen if they have been faced with the cruelty of the world since childhood, which they could not live because they did not have decent support," the expert said.

She added that it could be a "devaluation mechanism" or a "psychological role of the victim."

"Even during the period of transformation, there is a belief that new people will be found. There is no fear of contact," the psychologist explained, noting that the person is alone, but knows that then the time will come and the opportunity to communicate with other people.
