==Description==
==Description==
'''Loneliness''' is an unpleasant [[feeling]] in which a [[person]] [[experiences]] a [[strong]] sense of [[emptiness]] and [[solitude]] resulting from inadequate levels of [[social]] [[relationships]]. However, it is a [[subjective]] experience. Loneliness has also been described as [[social]] [[pain]] - a [[psychological]] [[mechanism]] meant to alert an [[individual]] of undesired [[isolation]] and [[motivate]] her/him to seek [[social]] [[connections]].
