Chronic loneliness is more than just occasional feelings of isolation; it’s a persistent state of emotional and social disconnection that can significantly impact your well-being. 

Unlike transient loneliness, which everyone experiences from time to time, chronic loneliness is an ongoing sense of feeling alone.  It can manifest as a lack of close relationships, feelings of not belonging, and a sense of emotional distance that persists despite efforts to connect. 

Chronic loneliness can affect every aspect of life, from your mental and physical health to your overall sense of purpose and fulfillment.
