I have been going through loneliness for 7 mo the now. I don't have a best friend anymore and it is rather well, lonely. I went from public school all of my life straight into homeschool and just like that BAM, every single friend was gone. I never talked to them again because I became a very different person and I didn't see them everyday like I used too. It is very difficult to go through loneliness like this but it teaches you that we shouldn't rely on our best friend or other people to fulfill our happiness. We shouldn't be searching for happiness within this world because we will obviously be greatly disappointed. I am sorry you are struggling with loneliness but I have grown so much from it. It teaches you to learn to live without someone else always by your side:) good luck.
I find it helpful to take better care of myself. I know it's cliche, but it works. I start a healthier routine, like exercise (even if it's just taking a walk), healthier food, I watch my mental health as far as the music and movies I am enjoying and I make sure it has positive content. I make sure to dress well and take time to do things like hair and makeup even if no one is going to see it.
Not look inward exactly, I just focus on making myself better inside and out because that's what I can control. It isn't a magic cure and I still wish I had more people in my life, but it helps my life become more positive.
I don't feel alone, ever. There's always tons of things to do, starting from watching a movie to improving or building that website to learning Italian. I long for attention sometimes, in this case I go out or attend some fun event
I am always lonely , I think about the future and how I am going to live alone all by myself , but sometimes i feel strong and that I don't need anyone to be closer to me
Ah, I see. Yeah, same here. I've huge trust issues too, and that keeps me from people (on top of my introversion, so it's just kinda a super, mega lonely life for me).
This is what I do. I come on here and I look for questions to answer. I offer my opinion where I think it might help. Other than that I just wrap myself in a blanket and sleep, play a game, watch a show/ movie or masturbate til I can't anymore.. that's pretty much it. I don't really know how to talk to or meet new people. I need to go back to church.
When I used to feel lonely I just did what I liked to do, hobbies or anything to take my mind off of it. No use in stewing over something you can't change in an instant.
i just meant that if loneliness is a common occurrence for you as it is for me, there's probably something you can do about it to change that rather than cope with it by distracting oneself (my habit).
Yeah, except that I've tried everything I can to change myself to be good enough, and nothing's worked. Just trust me, don't keep on along this path with me.
The primary "activity" (if you will) I partake in when I feel lonely is trying to find/communicate with my psyche-mate (widely known as soulmate, but I don't know anything about the soul). As I fail on a daily basis, I oftentimes do the same (talk to people on social media), and then descend into depressing dreams of loneliness 😂 I'm very dramatic 😅😇
I just... I feel like a dolphin! So reliant upon companionship, yet so unaccompanied all the time. Lol - sorry, that just got super depressing. I guess I'm super depressed and should probably go to sleep. Again, sorry! 😅
Yeah, I hear you there. I'm introverted too, so I know the love of peace and quiet. I just... sometimes I want someone to join me in that peace and quiet - like on the couch watching a movie with me.
