attachment and loneliness
Attachment refers to the emotional bond or connection formed between individuals, often characterized by feelings of trust, security, and closeness. It involves the desire for proximity and comfort from others, contributing to a sense of belonging and support in relationships. Loneliness, on the other hand, represents a subjective experience of feeling socially disconnected or lacking meaningful connections with others. It involves a distressing sense of isolation or solitude, leading to negative emotions and a perception of being emotionally or socially unfulfilled.
