Cuddle Practitioner | The Loneliness Epidemic & How Cuddle Therapy Helps

“You can be surrounded by people and still feel alone.”

In a world that’s more connected than ever through phones, social media, and screens, people are silently struggling with something heavy—loneliness. Not the kind that’s obvious, like someone grieving or going through a breakup, but the quiet, chronic kind. The kind that creeps in while you're “holding it together.” That builds up when you’re always the strong one, the caretaker, the person no one checks on.

This is the loneliness epidemic—and it’s real.

😔 What Loneliness Really Feels Like (Even If You Can’t Name It)

You might be going through the motions, showing up to work, raising a family, keeping up with bills... but inside, you feel:

Unseen and untouched

Emotionally exhausted but unable to ask for help

Like no one truly knows you, or worse—really sees you

Starved for comfort, but afraid to seem “needy”

Disconnected in your relationships, even romantic ones

Like your body is tense, your chest is heavy, and you don’t know why

This quiet kind of loneliness doesn't always come from being physically alone. It comes from **lack of meaningful connection, safe touch, and emotional presence
