Is anyone else completely alone?

How do you deal with loneliness

[HIlary48tgkgkgg]

I'm alone right now, because I am in grad school; and there is a lull. Meaning it is like an "off-year" where I am not doing work around other people, and my other grad school friends moved away for internship. ALSO, I'm really not communicating with my few home friends right now. So I feel lonely. When I feel lonely I pick an activity that is fun, something I really want to do. For example; I live in SF. I decided to go see the Golden Gate Bridge by myself; then go to China Town, then get Chinese Food, then go "Window Shopping" (meaning you just look into the windows you don't buy anything lol). Then I get dressed up and I go out. I MAKE SURE IT IS SAFE. I NEVER JEOPARDIZE MY SAFETY WHEN GOING OUT BY MYSELF. I call friends. I exercise. I cook. I watch Ina Garten and her cooking shows on YouTube. I listen to podcasts, like Joe Rogan, I listen to music, I explore new places, I go on Pinterest. I go to the beach. I decorate my apartment. You get my drift right? In life; there will all be periods of time at some point we are all lonely. Its normal. Go make the most of life; meet someone. Make new friends, join support groups, go hiking, take a yoga class; you need to build friendships

i mostly start to feel lonely and sad when it's night. my best way to deal with it is to just sleep early, lol.

Yes.


When I was in middle school/high school I didn’t have any good friends. They’d leave me behind in favor of others like I wasn’t worth their time. You’d probably say they weren’t real friends, as if I didn’t know that. 😂



It also took 4 relationships with girls in my teens and a false accusation in college in my early twenties to swear off romantic relationships completely.


I’ve always been an introvert and a loner. I like the whole loner esthetic too. And today, in my adulthood, I somehow made a best friend and other good friends who don’t treat me like garbage that doesn’t even make it into the dumpster.


I don’t need a romantic partnership, I just want to keep my friends around. Without them, I’m completely alone. And I know how to deal with that.


Distract yourself from it with hobbies, games, reading, movies, etc. That’s what’s worked for me anyway.

I am very much lonely a LOT! But I would rather be alone then be around the wrong person or people. Better than being in a toxic relationship, that's for sure!

How do I deal with it?:
I game, tv, tv, tv, eat, workout, find hope, hope gets destroyed a day later, masturbate, rinse and repeat!

The trick is to never watch/listen to anything about love/relationships and just watch/listen to the only channel left... finance!

Get one of these things.

I’m terrified of cats

Travel, binge watch on Netflix, explore new hobbies, talk to other people even online. Been there, done that

[notwoke]

have a routine and make at least a few "chores" to get done every day. doesn't have to be big tiring stuff unless you want to. get out every day at least once to go to the store, gym, etc. it is difficult. I am struggling

[MartianBuddy]

Go to work, gym and school. Don't really have tim to be super social. Too occupied, especially with side hustles. If you are lonely, a good way to mitigate it is a project.

Lonely but not alone, I stay with my stepdad but it would be nice to have someone, I do as much as I can alone just to get out

[Asker]

I hope you find someone

[Likes2drive]

Thanks I hope so

[Yourfriend2021]

You just have to try and make friends and stay busy. Then you won't feel so lonely.

[JohnK123]

Yep and looking for friends
although I have great friends I’ve met here

[Static_In_The_Attic]

You are never alone if you have imaginary friends.

[In_Trance]
