ESSERE SOLI NEL 2026

Summary

The presenter argues that loneliness among young people is often portrayed too simply. Social media and changing ways of interacting may make it harder to connect, while people’s differences and social habits can also affect how they relate to others.

He shares his experience of being isolated and bullied as a child, which left him with lasting challenges, including talking a lot and reacting defensively to rudeness. Over time, he learned to manage these habits and build a more fulfilling social life.

The video distinguishes between being physically isolated and feeling lonely despite having a large social circle. The latter can stem from not having a close friend with whom you feel safe sharing personal thoughts.

Strategies for Making Connections

• Get out and try new settings: If you’re not connecting with people in your usual social environment, explore activities such as sports, hobbies, or other groups.
• Use the internet to meet people: Look for communities or people nearby on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, or Discord. Consider meeting in person when appropriate.
• Practise conversation: Make a point of chatting with people in everyday settings, such as school, college, the gym, or shops. Setting a small goal for how many people to speak with can help build confidence and experience.
• Make a practical effort to overcome distance: If you live somewhere isolated, plan regular outings and use available transport to reach social activities.
• Seek professional support when needed: If mental health difficulties are getting in the way, consider speaking with a psychologist or other professional.
