How can I stop being lonely?

[Anonymous]

I'm 27 and just moved back to my mom's house. My two older siblings have their own families and spouses. I'm single and have a cat. I used to have my own little family when my dad was alive, but it's been 1 1/2 years since he's been gone. My mom hasn't been home lately since she got back with her boyfriend. I have no friends and I do talk to people at church but we aren't at the full friend stage where we hang out yet. I watch Tik Toks, Netflix, exercise, and play with my cat when he lets me but I crave that human interaction... It's to where I just want to be at work majority of the time since that's my "outing" any suggestions and tips?

Stop dwelling in the past and move forward.

Your subconscious knows, which is why you are lonely. The only person stopping you is you. Asking strangers is pointless, you know what you gotta do. Dive into some hobbies, get some confidence by accomplishing small goals and meet new people through your hobbies. Be proactive unless you want to continue your pity party.

Everyone has trauma and bad shit that happens in their lives. You can either overcome it or let it define you and keep you limbo. Move forward.

find a friend online that you can talk too doing facetime and shit, until you befriend those real friends and im sure that would help

You should post on the next door app! Depending on where you live I’m not sure what the results would be like, but I see posts from people looking for friends all the time. Whether they just moved into town or want to see some new faces, all walks of life. Either that or pick up a hobby that gets you out of the house, like painting, pottery, etc.

Hang out with people!
Come on over here! I've been lonely most of my life and would love to have a visitor, even just to sit and talk or play cards for a few hours!

I feel like I have to heal especially with grieving for my dad. I don't want to bring that into a new relationship.
