What do you do when you feel lonely?

Question

RavVid · Accepted Answer

Solitude is not lonely. It is more about having a good relationship with yourself. You need to stop looking for others to make you happy whereas it should be you that makes you happy.

Go make you happy!

I’m here on GAG to decode hearts, not just emojis, babe 😏

When I feel lonely, I lean into my “comfort rituals”: music in headphones, a good book, texting one trusted friend, cuddling my daughter, or going for a solo walk. I let myself feel it without spiraling, then do one small thing that makes me feel connected again.

For me there are two types of lonely

The first lonely is the kind that I love being in my own space I love being quiet in my own world I love listening and paying attention to every sound around me I am in tune with the world nature frequency my thoughts and the things that I hear the things that come to me to make me a better person

And I am alone And most people would think I'm lonely But I'd like those moments I need those moments

But even in those moments I also am a man 100% into who I am what I want what I need

I'm single and I have passion and I am sensual and everything around me flows
I don't have to speak with my mouth I don't have to touch with my hands and I feel like I know how to express myself without doing any of it LOL if that makes sense

but the loneliness comes because I want to share who I am and all the things about me

I want to give of myself I want to make somebody feel the same things that I feel that even more beautiful than I feel them

And that's when lonely kicks in because

In life there is a balance of everything flowing right at the highest peak

And when you can share that with somebody and take them right there along with you it is so beautiful it just makes me high and when you can balance that each and every day it makes life even better because I want to share it with somebody

And that's what makes me lonely is when I think about that and I want to take it there I want to feel it taste it touch it become it with somebody every moment of the day that's what makes me lonely

And the thing is I know this but I'm still missing something and when I figured that out and I incorporate it fix it Whatever It Is when I learned whatever it is that's when I will change that part of the loneliness into the complete opposite and go out and look for what I want but until then I hold myself back

If there's anything good that comes from it

It's the internet or is being able to chat with somebody and a chat happens and I can express that passion through words and share myself that way with somebody that wants to feel it whether if it's a one-time thing or 10 time thing it's a beautiful moment and that loneliness disappears a little bit

Because I got to share the part of me that I want to give to somebody in real life just haven't yet but I know there's a time and a place for everything and once I figured out I will take care of that loneliness in the best way possible and that's by giving of myself

The part that sucks is finding a person it wants that same thing in that moment

And there are many good things that come from that too

But yeah that loneliness is me wanting to share with myself and become one with them but until I find whatever it is I'm looking for Within Me I'm not going to let it happen

Because I'm not willing to start something and it not be right somewhere down the road I'm not willing to allow myself to go through that again

So until then I kind of curve my loneliness by the things that I do on the internet and I have a lot of good friends because of that or a lot of good people that I meet that are going through the same type of thing kind of I'm kind of share those lonely moments to help each other get through it it's actually a beautiful thing

And they keep growing so I know that I'm getting I can feel it

Hmmm…well, I grew up an only child so I think I’m fairly resistant to loneliness; I actually prefer solitude best, most of the time. The more I see of people these days, the less I want to know anyone anyway, lmao.

I guess in the event that I DID feel lonely, I would probably text a friend something funny, maybe create some interaction that way. I keep weird hours too, my prime “me-time” comes when everyone is asleep. That’s why you can catch me on GAG in the scary hours, haha, maybe finding some action from people in currently-awake time zones😝 So if it happened at a time of day when my friends would be asleep, I’d probably distract myself online, and maybe work out in between with my home weights, do some core exercises, stretching, whatever.

Loneliness usually comes from boredom for me, in the rare cases it happens. And I was always kicked out of the house and told to “find a way to entertain myself til dinner time” if it was a nice day out. So I’m just real tight homies with myself, lmao, and in some ways and at a lot of times, there’s no one I’d rather hang out with😝

Activity, or something both mentally and manually distracting are always good to get through the feeling if you need to.

I never had that feeling... at a young age, we grew up by the mountains and farmland.. so not too many to play or chit chat with... so i ran aorund the mountain exploring plants, flowers, bugs, talked to the cows? lol... i don't know.. but it was never boring... etc... swam in chill cool water till my lips turned purple... some told my family.

now in a big city, i make friends easily and visit families... or call to check it/catch up... i can make more friends but can't really spread myself too thin.. when i finally have a few minutes.. i come check out gag a little and catch up with a few gag friends... i also have 2 teen kids, a job, hubby.. etc... just full of life to live!!

so go out there and make some friends. married? kids? jobs? money? travel? hobby?

build a good life for yourself... only you can slove this...

Still-alive · Answer

talk with friends, hang out with friends, get a pet and play with your pet. Write or do art. get more involved with my hobbies like reading or playing a video game.

it's a fairly common feeling many have these days so also just remind yourself you aren't alone in feeling lonely can help too.

ElenaLena · Answer

I rarely feel lonely because I have a lot going on and a lot of people in my life. But if it does happen, I bother someone until they give me attention 😄 or talk to my pets…or any pet, really…

Nikki1989 · Answer

I don't know what 'feeling lonely' really is. It hasn't happened to me as yet.

Darkest-Knight · Answer

I feel lonely 24/7, but sometimes are worse than others. I have no family or friends. So there s no one to call or visit. When the feeling gets really bad, I'll go outside and smoke a big cigar. That seems to bring me around somewhat.

chingsseeker · Answer

when you feel lonely, do you think it’s better to distract yourself or actually go find people to be around? i usually prefer the second one, and i use spontap sometimes when i want to find someone nearby who’s actually free to hang out.
