YOUR LONELINESS STORY TELL OTHERS ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCES

Hello! A few people have sent me emails and requested to know
"who I am." It was only then I realized that perhaps I
should put in a little page to say a little something about myself.
My name is Sean Seepersad. Presently I am a faculty member at the
California State University, Fresno in the USA. I just recently
graduated from the University of Illinois with a Ph.D. For my dissertation I
conducted a loneliness intervention program for
lonely college students. I successfully ran the program in the Fall
2003 and Spring 2004 semesters. The program worked quite well, and I'm hoping to
implement the program on a much broader scale. I get so many
messages, stories from individuals who feel lonely and want help with
it. This website seems sometimes to be such a small drop of
help. I'm hoping perhaps that I can take this program I'm developing
and help many people with it. I'm also thinking about authoring a
book on loneliness, based on my own thoughts and the stories of
others. If you would like to tell me your story, please check out this
page. I'm also
looking for monetary donations
too, to help develop this program!! :-)
Though I am in the US, I am not originally from here. I am actually
from a little country in the Caribbean called Trinidad
and Tobago. It's located just north of the coast of
Venezuela. I got involved in loneliness research quite by
accident. During adolescence, I myself have had some bouts with
loneliness and was drawn to write poetry about it (one of the poems in my
website is actually mine). Several of my friends displayed
what I would call a pattern of loneliness and I had developed my own
little theories about loneliness. It was quite by accident that I
came across a book about loneliness in the university library, in which
was displayed theories and research on loneliness. My first reaction
was, "wow, people actually study this?!" After reading one
of the articles that resonated deeply with my experience, I decided that
this would be a wonderful field to get into. It was since then that
I have been writing and reading about loneliness.
This website was initially formed just as a means of getting participants
to answer my online questionnaire (which I have since taken down).
But the website had more of a profound effect that I had initially
imagined. Since its inception, I have received numerous emails and
comments in my guestbook about how the website
has been useful for the visitors to this site. So even after the I
was finished collecting my data I decided to keep the website up because
it seemed to be filling a need for people. At present I am trying to
expand the website to be more interactive with my visitors.
Please enjoy my website. Feel free to sign my guestbook
and let me know what you think. And don't hesitate to drop me an
email as well.
Thanks to the many people who have sent in their wonderful thoughts about
the website.
Sean Seepersad.
