Era of being alone

By Maria Dumanskaya

Loneliness is the biggest fear for all people without exception. And in nowadays seems that a lot of people live with this fear. Especially the youth. I don’t want to say it about all of us, but if to surf the internet, you’ll find a lot themes and comics like “forever alone” and etc. There are a lot of comments like “it is so me”. I think that this is not good, because people got used to live in a closed way, spending almost all of their free time watching films, sitcoms, blogging and so on. They think that it’s a good alternative for living in a real world with real relationships.
I can’t say that I don’t watch films or do blogging stuff but there must be a limit of it. Also I noticed that people don’t want to get acquainted with new people and communicate with them. Maybe they feel insecure, I don’t know. But the whole situation is quite sad. Another situation is when acquainted people, don’t say hello, when they pass  each other.  The main idea is that they recognized each other but they don’t want to say hello in order to miss the awkward communicating situation. I can’t understand it. Why they don’t want to have a small conversation? Is it so hard? Or maybe they think that they are so cool and another person isn’t  good enough to communicate with him/her. These are my versions. After all, I find it strange when people complain about their loneliness and in the same moment they ignore somebody, who wants to talk to them. I don’t want to say that it’s peoples’ fault but some of us just can’t see the closest opportunities, which we are given. So, I find it very good when people  have a long and close relationship. Because they made first step and did a lot of other things in order to make them and their partners happy, so they really deserve it. And nobody should blame them for something or say how lucky they are because such people didn’t sit and complain, they actually did something in order to change the situation. 

I really want people to change. I believe that someday we will wake up and won’t go to our computers but go outside and have a long walk or do something that we didn’t do for a long time. Then people may feel happier and think that their life is more completed. But for now, at least  let’s try to say hello to each other and also try to think about other people.
