Loneliness isn't something that just happens when we are physically alone but can also happen when we are with people, too. Numerous online friends, followers, or "likers" don't necessarily add up to much when you crave fulfilling interaction. According to couple, team, and start-up coach Kira Asatryan, satisfying, long-term relationships are not a mystery to be left up to chance (or technology) . Loneliness has a reliable antidote: the feeling of closeness. We can and should cultivate closeness in our relationships. All it takes is three simple steps: knowing, caring, and mastering closeness. These techniques can be used in all relationships and are easy to implement, once you understand how closeness functions. Whether romantic partners, friends, family members or business partners, everyone wants to establish true closeness with others but haven't learned to effectively give and receive knowing and caring.
