CSUSB professor offers advice on dealing with loneliness

Kelly Campbell, professor of psychology at California State University, San Bernardino and a nationally recognized expert on relationships, was interviewed for an article on “how to combat loneliness when you finally live alone.”
 
“People have always been lonely, but there is greater awareness of it today. What used to be private is now public, so people learn and talk about these issues much more than they did in the past,” Campbell said. “Another thing to keep in mind is that there are now more single households than ever before, and a key predictor of happiness and life satisfaction is social connection.”
 
Campbell recommends focusing on the positives of being alone, like finding time for self-care, reflection, and hobbies. She prioritizes in-person relationships, and advises an “active” use of social media to keep in touch with friends. She also thinks it’s wise to set limits around technology to keep from playing the comparison game, and to push yourself to meet new, like-minded people in clubs or at events. And lastly, she notes that if the loneliness is prolonged or deepens into depression, then it’s a good idea to seek therapy.
 
“For some people it might be a quick fix, and for others, it may be a lifelong trait,” she says. “Loneliness can ebb and flow depending on what’s going on in a person’s life, but if loneliness persists for years, then a long-term approach is needed.”
