    The Five-Dimensions (5 D's) of Loneliness:

    Often we think of loneliness in a singular way. She is lonely or she is


    not lonely. I am lonely, or I am not lonely. However, a more
    comprehensive view of loneliness includes five-dimensions.

    Loneliness in relation to:


    - family/relative ties
    - spiritual connection
    - self
    - friendships
    - romantic relationships

    So, one could be lonely in a specific dimension but not the others.
    For example, one may be experiencing loneliness in relationship to
    friendships in her life, and feel fulfilled in the other four dimensions.
    This helps us to identify more specifically where our loneliness is
    being experienced in our lives.

    The 5-Dimensions of Loneliness also help us to see that while three


    of the dimensions involve other people - friends, romantic partners,
    family/relatives - the other two; spiritual connection & self, don't
    necessarily involve a direct relationship to another person. Since
    relationships with others are two way (i.e. it takes two to tango) we
    don't have control of them. However, our relationship to connection
    of a spiritual nature and to ourselves can be developed without
    dependency on another person. This may bring hope to someone
    who is feeling stuck in loneliness. Perhaps, it can be a place for
    someone feeling lonely to begin developing a greater feeling of
    connection in their life.
