Question

Erika's mother notices that Erika has a rather small circle of friends, and when she asks Erika says, "I just like having fewer people who I spent time with, Mom." Erika's mother tells her, "I'm afraid that you are lonely too much." Is Erika's mother correct in her concern?

Answer 1

No only for the fact that loneliness to some people, is relaxing for others. So even if Erika is alone sometimes that may not mean she is lonely but maybe that she enjoys time to herself.

Answer 2

This depends on Erika's behavior.

If she is more outgoing, and more of an extrovert, than yes, she does have the right to be concerned.

If she is a bit more introverted, she might not need to worry so much.

Hope this helps!
