Signs of loneliness

Loneliness is a subject in the media today.  Here is an extract from the Huff Post (see menu)

Isolation often comes hand-in-hand with a change of circumstance in a person’s life, for example: the death of a loved one; moving away from friends and family; losing the social contact and enjoyment of work; or experiencing health problems that make it difficult to go out and have fun.

It’s not always easy to spot the signs of loneliness, however changes in day-to-day habits such as neglecting appearance or personal hygiene, not eating properly, and feeling worthless are definitely signs. Having a significant change in routine, such as getting up a lot later in the day, is another.
