Tip number one: Put yourself in her shoes. You may have already heard of this; however, empathy is not an overrated thing at all. We are different, at least in some ways. So, if you’re not ready to see a situation from another perspective, how can you really understand what’s going on?

Indeed, you’ll find that if you look at the situation from her perspective, there are similarities to what you’re thinking yourself.

But have you ever paused to consider that small voice in your brain that questions if the beneficiaries of your wonderful news truly care?

Studies have consistently shown that chronic loneliness poses significant risks to both mental and physical health.

The impact of loneliness on overall well-being cannot be overstated.

He and his friends rush toward a summer of youthful excess played out against a soundtrack of Bowie and Blondie in the shadow of Thatcher coming to power in a country on the brink. With humour and heart, he recounts his bad-boy antics and the resilience and refuge that intense male friendships can provide.

We all obsess about worrying less, but worrying can actually be good for you. Similarly we strive to be proactive and fast - but aren't there hidden benefits to procrastinating? The last thing a parent is meant to do is neglect their offspring, but children do amazing things when you just leave them alone. And at work we spend hours frantically brainstorming, but isn't there a benefit to just lazily staring out of the window?

In his last year of university, Will thought he knew everyone he cared to know.
