Low loneliness (Score < 40)

You generally feel connected and have stable social relationships. Occasional moments of loneliness may occur, but they are rarely distressing. platoniq can help you make your existing relationships even more fulfilling and continue developing your social skills.

Moderate loneliness (Score 40–70)

You experience loneliness from time to time, even when you’re around other people. This can sometimes make your everyday life feel isolating. platoniq was designed for people like you. In 6 weeks, you’ll learn to recognize and break old relationship patterns and build deeper connections that truly support your well-being.

High loneliness (Score 70–100)

You often feel alone or misunderstood, even when you’re with others. Loneliness is a significant challenge for you. Taking action can make a real difference. platoniq guides you step by step to identify the patterns that separate you from others and discover new ways to create genuine connection.

If you are currently in acute crisis, you can find immediate help here.

Your thoughts shape your relationships.

Many emotions don’t arise from situations themselves, but from the thoughts behind them.

When you think, “I’m not interesting,” you automatically feel insecure and withdraw.

This is exactly where cognitive restructuring comes in — a proven method from behavioral therapy.

It helps you question those thoughts: “Is this really true? Or just an old pattern?”

It sounds simple. But it isn’t.

These thought patterns are deeply rooted often since childhood or formed by painful experiences.

That’s why you need a system that guides you step by step.

platoniq integrates this scientifically proven method into your daily life.

Sounds like what you have been missing?

As psychologist with a PhD (Oxford University, HU Berlin, FU Berlin), Silvan understands the mechanisms behind loneliness. He developed the course content for platoniq, together with feedback from hundreds of affected individuals, to close the gap between science and everyday life.
