Thich Nhat Hanh calls loneliness the suffering of our time, that we can be in a crowd of people but still feel alone, all of us lonely together. That feeling is something that we're afraid of - the fear of loneliness can be worse than the feeling itself, resulting in us trying to distract ourselves with other things. Practicing compassion is the most important way to tend to our  loneliness - when we accept our difficult feelings and work on our peace, we start to really see the everyday suffering of other people and feel compelled to help that person, even if it's just listening deeply without judgement. When you really listen and allow someone to empty their heart, that's when you can really make a human connection.
