Social Skills: from Loneliness to Meaningful Connections

The Anti-Loneliness Workshop

“Meaningful connection is formed when we bravely share our truth.”

​We live in the most technologically connected period, and yet we are lonelier than ever. Feeling lonely is not something wrong. But when it is treated as a taboo or as something "not supposed to feel", then it generates more negative feelings, such as shame, guilt, which result to less self-confidence and more self-defeating beliefs and behaviors, and hence more loneliness (vicious circle). 
Human connection is powerful. 
In a world of hashtags and followers, genuine connection is what we crave for.  
You see, back then before raise of social media, people weren’t so concerned about what other people say. 
Back then a friendship is a single-layer system—you came into mutual agreement with someone to become friends, and that’s it. Nowadays, it’s a multi-layered system.

Do you find it hard to build a stable network?
Do you feel terrified when you are invited to parties?
Did you just landed to a new country and you are lost on the “how to”?
​Let's change that.
