While we yearn for connection, certain actions based on feelings of loneliness can keep us from truly connecting. The primary way of coping with loneliness within relationships is to disclose how you feel. The way we could all collectively cope with these shared feelings of loneliness is to connect amidst the physical barriers. The present situation and its stressors then elicit the feelings of loneliness and bring them to the surface. Therefore, seeking help from a therapist could be a really healthy coping mechanism in managing feelings of loneliness.
