What do you do when you’re experiencing one of life’s challenges?

Do you acknowledge it and work through it or do you just push through?

When it comes to loneliness, just pushing through comes at a terrible cost and you’re paying it blindly.

Let’s talk about the pitfalls of your all-too-common strategy in this final episode of this season of The Lonely Diplomat podcast.

If it’s not already clear: I’m Phil. I’m gay and I get lonely. I come out as gay all the time.

I also come out as lonely all the time. Coming out as lonely is tough. It’s often far easier for me to come out as gay than it is to come out as lonely.

Let’s talk about coming out as lonely as the only way to break loneliness’ hold on your thoughts and behaviours.

Stop competing against other people’s loneliness. Or, in other words, stop comparing your loneliness to anyone else’s.

All you’re doing is manufacturing evidence that the loneliness you’re experiencing isn’t THAT bad and you can go on figuring it out by yourself.

My friend: this episode can change your life.

The thoughts and feelings of loneliness can make you feel like you’re a broken human. But I know this to be true: loneliness doesn’t make you a broken, failed human.

It makes you gloriously human.

Let’s talk about that in this short episode that’s designed to give your mind, your heart and your soul a quick connection boost as you – a human who’s a diplomat or lives the diplomatic life – go about your day.
