The stories include a childhood of bullying and abuse, the desire to love and be loved, a loveless marriage, life after divorce, a broken heart, being gay, coping with social anxiety, and a lifetime of insecurity. Accompanying each story is an insightful guide that seeks to answer two questions: 1. How did each of these individuals end up in the current situation that they are in, and 2. What things might each individual do to change their current circumstances and overcome their feelings of loneliness? At the end of each chapter is a link to an online forum where you can discuss your own stories, opinions, and ideas with other interested readers.
The book gives voice to the lonely, who often suffer in silence and isolation, and answers questions about how life experiences create feelings of loneliness. It is a window into the human experience we all share, and the complex world of relationships and loneliness we all have to navigate.
Sean Seepersad has been teaching, researching, and working with lonely individuals over the past decade. Currently he runs the Web of Loneliness website, dedicated to providing information and support for those who feel lonely. For his PhD, he developed, implemented, and evaluated a loneliness intervention program, which showed moderate success in reducing feelings of loneliness. The book, The Lonely Screams, is an extension of the Web of Loneliness website. In addition to the 18 autobiographical stories of loneliness, it contains insights into loneliness from the experiences the author has in working with those who feel lonely. The book represents a first step into developing a comprehensive program to help those who feel lonely. Part of the sales from this book will be used to fund outreach programs for lonely individuals.
