However, they forget one of the main ingredients of emotional growth – emotional connection and safety. That’s why when these children grow up to be adults, they feel overwhelmed with a sense of loneliness. “We subconsciously keep repeating what we are most familiar with (mostly it's linked to our upbringing). Only when we become aware of our learned and subconscious patterns and beliefs, we can break free from them and make healthier and better choices for ourselves (present and future self),” wrote Therapist Caroline Middelsdorf.

Reasons why Christmas can feel lonely: Therapist explains

Christmas is one of the largest festivals celebrated all over the world. It brings with it joy, happiness, hope and holiday cheer. However, sometimes Christmas can feel lonely for some people. "It’s not always the merry, jolly season for everyone. From the pressure of picture-perfect festivities to the stress and burnout before the holidays, there are many reasons some of us might feel a bit isolated.

Other things like mental health challenges or simply feeling overwhelmed with the hustle and bustle of the season can also add to that sense of being alone in a crowded room," wrote Therapist Lalitaa Suglani.
