How do you deal with loneliness?

[Dontaaaa]

Not that any of you should care, but I've been pretty lonely lately, I probably actually have been for a long time.

I tend to try to focus on tasks everyday to not indulge in the loneliness too much, but... you know how it is.

[FictionalCharacter]

You’re 20 years old and I understand the peer pressure and anxiety of wanting to do something with life at that age. But in my 20s, my social anxiety was through the roof. That I never went outside and never did any outdoor activities for almost 9 years. Every year was the same, loneliness and fear. Till I reached 27 years old and going on 32 (33 on September). That I wanted to do something more with my life. I took risks and I struggled cause of my fear, anxiety and depression, along with stress. Yeah, I’ve come long ways and so far. That I even surprised myself compared who I was 10 years ago.

But either way, I’m still alone and take risks of going out of my comfort zone. That I’ve tried online dating, joining GaG, socializing with employees whenever I go do errands, walking by myself. In the end, I’m still alone and dealing with dysmorphia cause of failed relationships and rejection. That my only dream is to hopefully one day get plastic surgery on my face and be confident in the world. I’m aging and I want to be happy. Best of luck to you

I talk to my dog. She a great listener and keeps all me secrets. However she talks to me in a strange language, but I still understand stands her point. She has very reasonable rates. The plus part she will even go on exciting and fun walks. She everything you could ask for when you are lonely

You should try to find a friend group based around something you enjoy. Don't look to women to solve your loneliness, they usually find it repulsive. Instead look for bros. Women will come when you're feeling better.

I've always hated the aspect of people coming around only when you're feeling better, because they're just gonna leave if you ever find yourself back in a rut again.

Although at the same time I understand, no one in thier right mind wants to deal with someone that's miserable and negative.

Women for the most part just like to twist the knife when men are in trouble. Just how it goes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Meetup groups on like hobbies may be a good idea for you 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Dontaaaa]

I'll keep that in mind, thank you.

Sure as it very diverse in my region. Soccer for me…

[Dontaaaa]

I've never really been intrest in soccer myself. I used to like basketball a lot when I was younger, but eventually lost intrest.

I feel like the only interests I have now that are relevant in finding groups for is bodybuilding and fighting games, I'm not really that much into video games anymore though for some reason, I doubt I'd be able to keep up with a group that's enthusiastic about them.

I own my house and live alone for 3 years now. Seeing my parents, brother, friends definitely help. Also going on occasional dates. Video calling on my phone helps a little too.

[Ruenella_]

I text strangers online.

Time to get on tinder then

[Dontaaaa]

Thought about that, but the idea ain't really appealing to me, tbh.
