The Lonely Screams: Understanding the Complex World of the Lonely

Dive into the world of the lonely with 18 autobiographical stories of loneliness. These stories come from a broad cross-section of people of varying ages, experiences and countries of origin who visited the Web of Loneliness website. The stories include a childhood of bullying and abuse, the desire to love and be loved, a loveless marriage, life after divorce, a broken heart, being gay, coping with social anxiety, and a lifetime of insecurity. Accompanying each story is an insightful guide that seeks to answer two questions: 1. How did each of these individuals end up in the current situation that they are in and 2. What things might each individual do to change their current circumstances and overcome their feelings of loneliness? At the end of each chapter is a link to an online forum where you can discuss your own stories, opinions and ideas with other interested readers. The book gives voice to the lonely who often suffer in silence and isolation, and answers questions about how life experiences create feelings of loneliness. It is a window into the human experience we all share and the complex world of relationships and loneliness we all have to navigate.
