Abstract:

 

Loneliness as a state of being without any company or in isolation from the community or society is described in the article. The effect of loneliness on a person's physical and psychological state is that it can cause a number of ailments, such as: loss of sensitivity, cardiovascular disease and obesity. It is pointed out that loneliness often occurs in old age and leads to an increase in suicide rates. The problems of loneliness that arose during isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic are described, the fact that people have to come to terms with this horrible reality of isolation, which contributes to the growth of loneliness. It is indicated how loneliness affects health of workers, and that it leads to anger, frustration with the authorities and can force many to resist quarantine restrictions, which can have dire health consequences for people. It is stated how the pandemic affected the loneliness of different segments of the population, and how it manifests itself in them. Some steps to overcome loneliness are highlighted and analyzed. The first step was the transformation of loneliness into solitude, which aims to help a person understand himself and come to productive isolation and fulfillment of long-forgotten hobbies, abandoned passions and unfulfilled plans for life. It is stated that most of the great works of art, philosophy, literature came out of solitude, this is due to the fact that the creators could enjoy their own existence and the ability to cultivate ties with others. The second step is to use modern technology, services to maintain and improve relationships with family and loved ones, find new acquaintances, and meet the needs of food, education and more. The impact of virtual reality on loneliness, and the ability to identify lonely people with artificial intelligence based on their language are described. The problems that modern technologies do not help to cope with are highlighted. As a result, it was concluded that by taking the above steps, it is possible to cope with loneliness during a pandemic.
