Are you work lonely?

I didn't realize that this was a thing until I recognized that I had felt it numerous times over the last few years and that others had, too. There are even a couple of courses about it on LinkedIn and other sites.

Perhaps some of you have felt it, too. It was a bit of a shock to my heart and mind to go through this experience after years of what felt like too many interactions to keep up with on a daily basis.

But then....crickets.

No matter your personality, it can be a challenging experience. However, it can be a chance to pause to learn more about yourself, learn or re-learn how to reach out to others in new ways and provide a chance to show more compassion to others as you interact, lead, contribute, and serve.

Though I'm still working through some work loneliness right now, I am very lucky. As I mentioned in this episode, it only takes one person to feel included. You are working on you, of course, but I have at least one co-worker that I can share thoughts with at any time, and it makes all the difference.
