What Do You Do, When You Feel Lonely?

[PoodleBlue]

Hello everyone, I feel lonely often. I don't have any friends left as adulthood has taken us all down different paths in life. I also work from home so I don't often have work small talk, What do you do when you feel alone?

finding a hobby is a good way to distract yourself when lonely- art, puzzles or even games on your phone can help pass the time. Can you think of any hobbies you might enjoy?

I struggle with loneliness from time to time too. I don't have much friends because of my extreme social anxiety, so I'm always at home. I don't really have the answer because I try to manage still. But your not alone in feeling like this. I just try to watch movies or shows, to past the time. I have my brother to keep me company, but he gets busy alot, I don't blame him. I'm just trying my best.

When I was younger I felt lonely. As I got older, I honestly don't feel lonely. I appreciate the time to myself. But in the past, I've found ways to surround myself with people. Dance lessons, singing lessons, going to the gym, writing, fostering dogs, volunteering, church, gathering co-workers for lunch, etc. Make a list of things you can try and tackle those things one at a time.
