The L in HALT acronym represents loneliness.

Loneliness can be real or perceived isolation.

Real physical isolation from others is beyond the scope of this post.

Perceived isolation can frequently happen when we isolate ourselves. It might feel like others can’t understand us. Maybe it’s the fear of rejection, or maybe you’re not sure if you’ll enjoy connecting with others.

Rather than withdrawing from others, reach out and connect with friends and family who want to see you happy and healthy.

A low stakes text message or email can get the ball rolling.
