Loneliness is one of the major philosophical problems of society. This feeling has been and remains an object of study of philosophers, psychologists and psychiatrists, sociologists, anthropologists, educators, representatives of other scientific disciplines. The concept “loneliness” is actually a state of mind, which causes people to feel empty, alone and unwanted. Loneliness is the perception of being alone and isolated Theoretical understanding of this problem can be already found in ancient times. The Book of Ecclesiastes tells us that people were sensitive to loneliness in those distant ages and perceived it like a drama that led to a profound depletion of the individual.
