I'm struggling with loneliness | S3 E16 (Yo Elliott Q&A)

In this episode, Elliott addresses the distinction between being alone and feeling lonely, emphasizing the importance of being seen and recognized by older male figures, as described in the book "Iron John." He suggests that loneliness often stems from a lack of acknowledgment rather than physical solitude and advocates for giving attention and recognition to others as a means of receiving it oneself, likening it to the biblical story of giving from the heart. Elliott concludes by highlighting the reciprocal nature of recognition and offers empathy to those struggling with loneliness while emphasizing the power of being seen by others.
