Such changes can be moving home, separation or divorce, or losing relationships through death, particularly in old age.<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"mb-1\"><span class=\"red-font\">Chronic Loneliness<\/span> &#8212; unable to establish successful relationships\nIt is the kind of loneliness in people who have never been able to establish successful relationships, or at least not for some years. Usually this means they have been lonely in over at least two major life stages, such as adolescence and young adulthood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c05978 elementor-widget-divider--separator-type-pattern elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"5c05978\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\" style=\"--divider-pattern-url: url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&#039;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&#039; preserveAspectRatio=&#039;none&#039; overflow=&#039;visible&#039; height=&#039;100%&#039; viewBox=&#039;0 0 24 24&#039; fill=&#039;none&#039; stroke=&#039;black&#039; stroke-width=&#039;3&#039; stroke-linecap=&#039;square&#039; stroke-miterlimit=&#039;10&#039;%3E%3Cpath d=&#039;M0,21c3.3,0,8.3-0.9,15.7-7.1c6.6-5.4,4.4-9.3,2.4-10.3c-3.4-1.8-7.7,1.3-7.3,8.8C11.2,20,17.1,21,24,21&#039;\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;);\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d90cadd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d90cadd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mb-1 red-font\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Useful Tools for the lonely<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"red-font mb-1\"><img class=\"wp-image-902\" style=\"margin-right: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/depression.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/title_icon.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\">Tool A A Rational Ear &#8212; Are you misled by the media?<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-1\">Most pop songs, movies, TV dramas, and fictions underlay the myth that &#8220;Life could only be complete with a romantic partner.&#8221; This is an irrational argument.
