I am not a psychologist, but i ever had a consultation. I felt so lonely, so empty, and i didn't know what to do (i was in college at that time). She tried to gather more information from me. Ended up she gave a suggestion to do something like this journal: I had to make an intense communication, with 20 different friends, for two weeks. I also needed to write the gist of activities to be reported to her.
After two weeks, she was disappointed because i failed to reach the goal. I was able to get intense communication to only three of my friends. But i got my problem right: All of these empty feeling was because i didn't have enough interaction with other.
I didn't have adequate evidence that i was that lonely. By writing a journal, i knew that i barely made sufficient interaction with other; far below the threshold.
