| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. We face a lot of challenges in life. Some of them hard, some of them not so hard. |
| 0:14.4 | But I do think one of the hardest ones |
| 0:16.2 | that we do have to face is being alone. |
| 0:20.2 | And it's not that there's a shortage of people on the planet. |
| 0:23.2 | There's almost 8 billion people living on planet Earth right now. |
| 0:27.2 | What happens is we fall in love, we meet new friends, we meet people that really have an impact on our lives. We grow |
| 0:36.0 | up with family members that are important to us. And then they leave. They go away they die the relationship ends something changes and we're alone and in that |
| 0:51.6 | alowness sometimes we feel lonely. |
| 0:55.0 | One of the most poignant times this ever happened to me is when I was younger. |

| 1:29.9 | internet time. But I do remember going to Venice, Italy. If you've never been there, it is a beautiful |
| 1:37.3 | city, and I would call it quite romantic, at least to my eyes, it seemed very romantic romantic and I saw all these couples walking around together |
| 1:46.8 | and I was there by myself I wasn't traveling with anyone at that point. I was on my own and I remember this deep sense of loneliness filling my heart. |
| 1:59.5 | At that time I wasn't in a relationship and seeing all those romantic couples and being in that such romantic place |
| 2:08.5 | made me long for it, made me wish to be with someone, to be in a romantic relationship, and I wasn't, and that |
