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.
My first book, The Lonely Screams, is an extension of the Web of Loneliness website. It contains 18 autobiographical stories of loneliness and my insights into loneliness. The book represents a first step into developing a comprehensive loneliness program.
If you need a guide (for presentations, interviews, expert opinions, etc.) into the world of the lonely, I am your guy!

The Cure for Loneliness
When you hear the stories of the lonely, especially those that have been experiencing loneliness for a long period of time, one thing stands out quite clearly: There is usually no readily available one shot answer to helping them get out of loneliness. Of course, if you ask lonely folks what's the way out of loneliness, I'm sure at least 80% of them would say, finding a romantic partner. That is what most people seem to need, one person who will love and care for them the way no one is currently doing and arguably has done in their past.

Trying Too Hard
One of the big surprises that happened when I conducted a loneliness intervention program was that lonely people weren’t just your shy, withdrawn, wallflower type, but that lonely people can also be quite outgoing, extroverted, and friendly. Usually the shy, introverted ones feel like the outgoing, extroverted ones would never had felt lonely, when in fact they do experience a great deal of loneliness.

Feeling Lonely? Then go join a club
In the Lonely Quiz on my Web of Loneliness website (http://www.webofloneliness.com), I ask if joining a club is one of the most effective ways of treating individuals who are chronically lonely. Only 34% of the people answered this question correctly. The correct answer for this question is no, joining a club is not a very effective way of treating chronic loneliness.

I found my partner, now what?
If you have take The Lonely Quiz on the Web of Loneliness (http://www.webofloneliness.com/the-lonely-quiz.html), there is one question on there that asks if having a romantic partner is one of the most effective ways of permanently curing loneliness. Not surprisingly, 67% of those answering said that it is true, a romantic partner is an effective way of permanently curing loneliness. And, as you will see after you have answered the question, I said that it is not, in fact, true.

Since when is "lonely" a dirty word?
A recent article just came out by The Express (http://bit.ly/ucA8M5) discussing Esther Rantzen's new mission to raise awareness about loneliness. Esther Rantzen (http://www.estherrantzen.net/) is a TV-star and wife of the late film-maker Desmond Wilcox. What's interesting about Mrs. Rantzen's new focus is the push back she has received from family, friends, and professionals.
