Your Perceived Levels of Social and Emotional Loneliness

Understanding loneliness is vital for well-being, with social and emotional loneliness being key forms (Weiss, 1973). Social loneliness results from a lack of broader contacts, while emotional loneliness stems from the absence of an intimate figure. Both social isolation and perceived loneliness, feeling alone even in company, are robust risk factors for compromised health. Loneliness exists on a spectrum, including emotional disconnection and feeling distant from others. This assessment gauges your loneliness levels and provides strategies for alleviation.
