People are the same. They will grow old and enter the
Golden Years
. However, being old isn’t always as peaceful as people might
think. Why? Today elderly face many troubles including the difficulty to
interact or socialize with others. Senior citizens must learn how to be more
proactive these days. Otherwise, they will be trapped in a stationary life. Not
to mention they will rely more on the technology. It isn’t a healthy lifestyle
for them.
Loneliness of Elderly
Suffering from pains is a common issue among elderly. The
other problem is that old people also gets troubles regarding how they
socialize with people. They can’t go out as much as they used to be. They feel
isolated and alone. Being burden isn’t a good thing for them. The feeling of
isolation becomes worse if they have no one to talk to.
They are desperate of social interactions. This means they will try finding a
solution to stay connected with others.
Joining the Communities
It seems more troublesome if they live separately with
their family. Both family and career responsibilities
make their relatives
aren’t able to be by their side always. This is where senior citizen
communities become the savior. Making new friends in that community will help them
overcome the loneliness
. They can share stories and experiences of life, too.
