How do you (or did you) deal with the loneliness of living alone?

[Zack-Bann]

Im not talking about the basic stuff, hanging out with friends, joining an activity, and all that.

I mean how do you deal with the days where you have absolutely nothing planned and no one to talk to.

What works for me is a puppy, some hobbies good music, fresh air, a trampoline and I do feel mixed about this but honestly, google (If I can look up info I’m generally fairly content it at least too preoccupied to recognize if I’m not content And if I’m _tired_ it doesn’t matter if I’m content. Too tired to care.

Hobbies remind me of who I am and keep me connected to myself. Fresh air is powerful bc keeps me feeling spiritually connected through nature bringing me past my personal feelings in the moment while Bella keeps me humble & reminds me to stay connected to the mundane 🐶 Music combines the spiritual earthly personal and social aspects of life together in one small space you can feel enormous, no contest. Trampoline goes without saying… flying on my trampoline I master of the universe and I can be that from my living room 😛

Living alone was the best few months of my entire life. I dealt with loneliness by going to bars or social events. Or staying the night at my friends' houses. I used to stay with my ex sort-of-brother-in-law all the time and spend time with my "nephew" too. Or see my sister and actual nephew. I'd probably stay somewhere else five nights a month. But I didn't even need it. Beer and videogames kept me company. Or whoever I was dating before I met my wife.

Depends on the phase I am in, if I'm post-breakup then that's going to feel really lonely lol. Otherwise, if I'm in a hobby phase, then I have too many already to feel lonely. If I'm in a socializing phase then I would not feel lonely either.

Breakup aside, the last time I felt really lonely was almost 10 years ago, when I was validating the trope: "Better be alone than in bad company". There, I felt desperately lonely, yes.

I was lonely in my last relationship.

Read. Play guitar. Play piano. Try to get the hang of this banjo. Play games on Chess. com.
