Lesson 17: Loneliness - Slide 12
Lonely People Often Feel:
- Depressed, angry, afraid, and misunderstood; the negative emotions that precede relapse
- Highly critical of themselves
- Overly sensitive or self-pitying
- Critical of others, blaming
others for their situations
- Acutely aware of their own
failings and shortcomings
when in the company of others and believe that others are noticing them too
