Four Nine is on a mission to spark a New Year’s Revolution. This January, we’re encouraging you to join our loneliness rebellion, focusing on creating connection rather than resolutions this 2022.
We want you to take action to reconnect with old friends and create connections with new friends, whilst also embracing solitude and alone time because sometimes being alone doesn’t have to mean lonely.
Are you an extrovert or Introvert?
Depending on whether you identify with being introverted or extroverted or somewhere in between, loneliness can impact all of us differently.
Understanding where you are on the scale of introversion and extroversion can help you understand your loneliness better. For example, do you often feel lonely in a crowd? Do you find it difficult to spend time alone? We’re here to help you understand yourself better so that you can manage your feelings of loneliness more effectively.
CURB BLURBS
We talk to you about your experiences with loneliness, your advice to others on how to overcome it, and why your friends mean so much to you.
Do you ever feel lonely?
