Change your goals.

You're lonely because like you're biologically programmed to, you seek people to be with.

It is possible even though you may find it hard, to be ok being alone.

Once you learn, it won't be hard anymore.

You've made it your goal to have a partner.

The reason it might be difficult to change your goal includes your investments.

Everything in your life is adjusted to living with someone.

It's almost as if you're materially or financially benefitting from having a partner..

What if you were paid really really well to be alone?

What if you were made a hero that changed the world somehow by being alone?

What if you knew for certain that the future will be awesome if only you chose to be alone?

You find it difficult to be alone because you are convinced that it is better TO NOT be alone.

If only you convinced your core fully, that being alone is absolutely better.

Many people don't even seek romance in relationships and marriage, just the feeling of doing something right and contributing to society.

You can accomplish something without having partners or a family.

Imagine you found out what exactly it is.

I realize that this way, you don't have the chance to tolerate working a 9-5 job, ironically, because you don't need all the extra time to spend with someone you're missing, you're not eager to go home and kiss them, but the reason you can't work 9-5 is because it isn't fulfilling, while others found their fulfillment and contimie to work to support their family, the motivation for them to work unwillomgly is there, but you view yourself as not "unmotivated compared to them", but rather picky with only dedicating time to the extraordinary and adventurous.

By being alone you're less likely to settle to do a job that you dislike just because you need to bring something home, you're going to have to ensure that everything you do is fulfilling, unless you're ok not having any fulfillment in life or you enjoy being a slave.

If you're battling excess libido, try undereating and fasting to down regulate the hormones.

Experiment with abstaining from masturbation too because it triggers hormones that turn you into a "family person" so to say, only creating the craving of having a partner, because your body thinks you're becoming a parent soon and you need someone to support you. ﾠ

If you aren’t happy being alone then put yourself out there and find someone that has similar interest as you do , make friends or find a companion , find a hobby that you enjoy and focus on that , me personally likes alone time , I got to a point in life that I am more content within myself than anything , it doesn’t take much to keep me happy , I am grateful for what I achieved and what I accomplished and I enjoy the little things in life , I try to stay positive as much as possible and try to distance myself from negativity as much as possible , I treat people the same way I want to be treated , I like to laugh and joke around , listen to music , and drink some beer on my days off , I like to be outside sitting on my patio enjoying the peace and quiet , I love having bonfires and cooking on the fire or grill , not dealing with drama and negativity from others , sometimes I don’t have a choice but that’s just the way of life , but the truth is , only you can stop yourself from being lonely

I do things to get my mind off of it. For instance, when I play the piano, I forget the world exists. So I don't feel lonely. When I come to gag, I'm able to engage with others in a way, so I don't feel lonely. When I watch YouTube or Films, I'm able to imagine myself in others shoes, which makes me feel more connected & not lonely.

First, what makes you lonely? Is the solution doable? Like a ride on a plane to visit a love one? Or quitting a job that’s stressing you out? Or leaving a partner who makes you feel more alone after all these years? Find out what makes you lonely. Then go from there. Talk to someone you trust and can tell everything without judgment or fear. We all get lonely.

Turn my phone off and take a day to myself doing something I enjoy or spend the day outside so. ewhere quiet where I can't be bothered.

No one truly cares when you are feeling lonely, so do the next best thing by getting used to loneliness and spending time doing something you enjoy to take your mind off it.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I sometimes embrace it. Being alone doesn't have to be a bad thing. I've taken trips and done all kinds of stuff on my own.

Sometimes I list the things that an SO would never wanna do with me and I go do them. May as well take advantage of the situation and do something about it.

I focused on God. Maybe I'm a little extreme. I have always my entire life done my own thing. Never was interested in peoples drama. I liked working and going to Bible study. Then I got sick with lupus and haven't worked in years.

But I just focused on my spirituality and fitness the best I could. I play video games often but I'm so introverted I do not enjoy hanging out with people I get socially exhausted.

I had a cat for 10yrs but he died a yr ago. I miss him a lot I used to take him everywhere with me.

For me it took me almost 2 decades to admit I'm lonely. Now that I am recently aware. I recognize in order to fix it I need to make sure to choose friends worthy of associating with. Who love to live this way too. Who don't like drama. Keep to them selves. Do their own things. Aren't needy but can just chill. Mayb I'm a late bloomer.

Trying to spend time with loved ones, it's one of the best coping mechanisms a person has. Family typically understands and will support you though hard times.

Honestly, even those without stable families, go to a Church. Like seriously, you WILL be loved there I can promise you that.

midnightmoon05 · Answer

I just go and annoy anyone who I can reach/call them. I am terrible at not connecting with a lot of my friends.  I actually want some lone time.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

By having company I relate to.

This question is kind of like asking "how do you cope with hunger?"

You eat. You can't "cope" with starving because you NEED food.

Humans need good company to stay happy, there is no coping mechanism thats going to make not having said company feel better.
