Loneliness is a heavy burden. Sometimes it’s a matter of high expectations from oneself or a partner, sometimes it’s an inability to build trusting relationships, fear of rejection, romantic perfectionism or overwhelming self-criticism. To get rid of loneliness, you need not to look for new meetings, but to learn to love yourself, because only those who love themselves become more attractive to others. World-renowned psychotherapist and bestselling author of Mood Therapy, David Burns, explains in his book how cognitive behavioral therapy techniques can help people who suffer from loneliness and shyness learn to build healthy relationships. He offers readers simple practices that will help you accept yourself with all your differences, develop healthy self-esteem and improve your personal life.

“All you need is a person you can rely on, who will comfort and support you, will give tenderness and care. This person is you.”

For whom
