How do you deal with loneliness?

Question

I was talking to some people earlier that said they have been lonely the last few days, and I'm starting to see this is becoming a common problem.

In the area I live in with all the drug dealers and drug addicts, even if I could make friends, it probably wouldn't be best. Yes, I am a loser who is completely alone and have no one. I'm the pathetic one! lol

I'm far from co-dependent though. People are unreliable, so I don't go down that road.

How do you handle loneliness? If you woke up one day and had no one, do you think you could survive?

Studies show people who live alone and have no one have more health problems and die sooner.

Here are the stages of loneliness I went through so you would understand

1) I would hide in my room under the covers in my bed. I would cry feeling sorry for myself. Thinking I wouldn’t amount to anything because I was lonely. That often times I thought about suicide.

2) I went online looking for social apps hoping to make friends. Which I did. That these people reminded me of my good qualities they see in me and remind me of how beautiful I am as a person.

3) I looked through resources looking for help. That I talked to a psychiatrist and went to church where I met nice people. Who still contact me to check up on me.

4) I avoided and cut off people who would hurt me. While I surrounded myself with people who appreciated me.

5) I would look up Instagram stories of people with physical disabilities who have it worse in life. While still having good confidence and are successful.

6) I would tell myself what my dream is in this world. Which is to become beautiful and happy. I wanted to grow in the world.

7) I would come up with a plan how I would want my life to be. That I started making business calls for appointments. To get a makeover and land a job. Which I did 😊
