This is an edited version of the video podcast I recorded for the Mentality Podcast with Lau Ciocan on the subject of loneliness.

It was a great conversation, I really enjoyed it and we covered all kinds of areas on the topics including:

- what loneliness is

- the importance of relationship with self

- importance of solitude

- why loneliness might particularly affect men

- why loneliness can have such a stigma

- how technology might aggravate it

- how being in a couple might affect our ability to connect with others

- ways to overcome loneliness

This is the second of three episodes about red flags in relationships. This one focuses on why we might at first not see red flags (when you look at people through ‘rose coloured’ glasses, sometimes red flags just look like flags) and also why, if we do eventually see them, we might stay and endure or deny them.

Areas include:

- Early Experience in Life (someone’s childhood)

- The Effect of Love

- Love in Imagination

- Fear in Imagination

- Rewards & Drive

- Shame

- What to expect for Part 3
