Publisher's summary

Do you feel uncharacteristically trapped and isolated lately? Are you avoiding people? Are you sitting at home feeling lonely? Many people are feeling a sense of disconnection. Some of these same people have worked through those feelings to regain their former self-assurance. But not all of us! As the author, I’m here to tell you that I have personally experienced this situation, and I found my way through it.

This book is not my life story, but the events in my life led me to write about these topics that will help everyone:

  • Identify and conquer the feeling of disconnection
  • Spot the difference between mental health and a mental illness
  • The surprising positive health benefits of talking to others
  • Why conversation is the currency of social interaction
  • Overcome crippling isolation and move forward

You can walk away from isolation! Follow me back to your life.

If you can’t accept your situation, either, it’s time to learn a way out of it. You are not helpless. You are not too old or too young to get your social life going. The roadmap is right here! Please don’t stay disconnected from life for a moment longer! Even if you feel overwhelmed by starting, you can do this by taking one step at a time.

Talk to me

This book will help a generation of introverts that seem they can't talk to anyone. Talking involves trust and practice. And when a person gets both that is when the healing starts. Mental health is very important especially after CO because people have alot of feelings that they can't process correctly. Please give this book a look if you are struggling.

Do you need to come out of your self shell?

Allow me a moment to say that I found myself wondering why the chapters are not right. Heck, I thought wait, did the chapter info not match up. I thought it had to be for a reason, so I kept listening. It continued, but it didn't matter. I went almost completely throught the entire audiobook, then decided to reach out, but again it doesn't matter. I am still going to do the review. So with that digression...

If you answered yes to the headline above, then get this book. It will have you building your confidence right away. You should see how early teachings are likely the underlying factor to your life successes and unfortunately, failures. But, as the author implies, every setback in life is another opportunity to rise up, and be better. What some say are failures, are victories to others.

You can most assuredly rise from very, very dark places and blossom. You may slip and fall back, but find othercs who will help you see the light. Ellen provides ways to seek social media help, and the suggestions to join a local community group or creating of your own, in chapter seven or eight, might be for you, Nothing wrong in admitting we all need to get others to help us find our center. Be of the mindset to motivate yourself, not isolate.

Time heals and directs better thoughts and understanding. Be patient with yourself and others. As brodcaster Lester Holt says, "Please Take Care Of Yourself And Each Other". If we all fully get that, surely it can and should lead to a better life. Go forth when you are ready.
