What can contribute to NOT being lonely?
Hariak believes that these three elements are important for a person to feel included in their relationships:
Receiving practical, emotional help or information from other people. It is an exchange in relationships where we give and receive support and share important experiences.
Performing essential activities to help a person maintain their life and carry out daily, everyday activities.
Feeling part of a group or society. This may be because we live nearby, have relationships with people, or share an identity.
