  Loneliness Loneliness is such a dangerous thing. It is akin to a slow acting poison, seeping slowly but surely through our bones and flesh. It sounds horrid and a tad morbid I know, but that is the truth of the continuous feeling of loneliness. In this world that has approximately  7.9 billions of humans, surprisingly or unsurprisingly around 40 to 60% people have stated that they feel lonely.  We all have felt lonely at some point in our lives.
