Some of us might have trouble admitting it, but loneliness is a plague on modern society stemming from the fact that many of us choose to "connect" online and via social media, where negativity runs rampant. Many times connecting via social media can actually make us feel more isolated.

Below are a few simple measures you can take to fight this silent epidemic affecting the health of millions of individuals.

1.) Join a Community

Join a class, a church, or some sort of outreach group that meets once a week or even once a month. You'll meet with like-minded people who are trying to connect and better themselves. It's fantastic company to keep.

2.) Build Healthy Relationships

Start taking an interest in others. Take more time to listen. Cherish the relationships you have and treat them well. You'll find that more people will want to be around that type of atmosphere and energy.

3.) Pick Up Your Phone

We all like to screen our calls, but, the truth is, when we make ourselves more available, especially to our friends and loved ones, this will pay off in dividends when it comes to fighting feelings of isolation and loneliness.
