What are the causes of loneliness?
Come, let us know from Dr. Pavitra Shankar, Psychiatrist of Aakash Healthcare, what are the reasons behind loneliness in cities. Nowadays people are tired of the digital world and desire face-to-face interaction. Many people come from other states for studies or work, due to which they stay away from their families. They stay connected with their families through social media, but due to lack of meaningful interactions, they feel lonely. To overcome this loneliness, people are even ready to spend money to meet strangers. In these meetups they meet new people, interact and share their feelings.

Despite living among millions of people, people are feeling lonely. Work pressure, mobile phones and social media have distanced people from each other, which is why people are becoming victims of loneliness. In this context, the trend of meeting strangers is increasing in Delhi-NCR. In these meetups, people meet and talk to new people, which reduces their stress.
