A Raw Conversation About Loneliness

#33: On today’s episode I’ve uncovered another side effect of social media that I’m exploring as I continue on my social media fast. It is the feeling of loneliness that comes from not thinking I have enough friends. 

I don’t have 5000, 10,000 heck I don’t even have 1000 followers. That friend number count on your profile invokes different feelings. It even carries over into my real life and questioning if I have enough friends in real life. I even look at how it triggers some childhood wounds I didn’t know I still carried.

Key Take-Aways:

• 2:44 - My loneliness as a child
• 5:38 - Understand my friendships through the Enneagram
• 6:15 - Facing loneliness today
• 8:10 - I share a devotion from the social media fast book I'm reading
• 12:38 - Final thoughts on loneliness
• 13:50 - A friendship prayer

Heavenly Position Guidance Challenge:

For this week’s Heavenly Position System Challenge, take out your journal and find a quiet place if possible. Begin to evaluate the friendships in your life or if you feel you are lacking. Ask God to show you where he hasn’t left you alone. Ask him to highlight untruths you have been believing and shed light on the truth.
