What do you do when you are lonely?

Different people may have different ways in reacting to loneliness.

Some may study, work, write, listen to music, walk, exercise, or go to movies, etc;

Some may choose to spend money, or go shopping;

Some may call up a friend or visit a someone to reduce the loneliness;

Some may feel it overwhelmed and cry a lot, sleep, overeat, watch TV, or even take some drugs or alcohol.

Hey, my dear friends, what do you do when you are lonely?

Loneliness is a kind of psychological problems. Well, tell you the truth, loneliness only belongs to my past! Most of the time I can be alone, but not lonely. No time for it!

Russell,

It is nice sometimes to have computer accompany you to reduce the loneliness, but not always. And it will hurt your neck and back if you stick to it for a long time.

Sunflower - my ability to do this comes and goes. I spent 9 years deliberately being alone (no relationships) but then I had one. It was short-lived, but it 'reminded' me what sharing can be like - now it seems to occupy my mind. I've been told that I am just lonely but it's so much more than that. Wanting to 'give' is more than just lonely I think? I am happy with my own company so agree with you there.

TG,

That is quite normal for people to feel lonely! I had such kind of experience a couple of years ago, but when I found that feeling lonely is a kind of harm, I turned to get my life occupied. You see that I spent my three lonely years learning French and left no time for loneliness. I planned to pick up another foreign language for the following years alone, Spanish or German. I am well prepared for the life alone, but not necessarily lonely. You can learn some Chinese to stop you from leaving time for loneliness. Sun

For me, I feel the most loneliness inside a bustling place w/ a bustling group coz there's no place I can anchor; while being alone and quiet, I feel the most sparkling in me because I'm myself, i can be free to think and do whatever I like at the moment. I can summon up all that's inside me and w/me and there's no disturbance.

ENERGIZE YOUR MIND THEN YOU'LL NEVER FEEL LONELY.
