What do you do when you start to feel lonely?

Hi friend, Its common for each and every person in the world.Somehow or other,we will go to depressed state.Its common,sometimes because of that we may cry.Its common i think.In order to overcome from it is very difficult,i know that because sometimes i also feel the same thing.In order to overcome,what actually i do is i keep listening to music and chitchatting with my friends.As i left the job recently i am getting sometimes depressed too,but what to do,we alone have to overcome it.So,i simply chit chat with friends and go on surfing the net. Have a nice day.

when i am feeling lonely, i sing a song. together with my guitar, i play my favorite songs. my loneliness always fade away when i am with my guitar. my guitar is my best friend. together we express my feelings. i don't feel lonely most of the time because of my guitar.

Sometimes even I feel lonely and when I feel lonely I will sit and cry for sometime and after words I will read the Bible and pray to God and once I do that all my pain and everything will be gone. I will be alright with 15 minutes I feel lonely when no one are at home or when I think about certain things which happend in life or when I remember my parents or relatives ,I rarely feel lonely but I cry I lot when I feel lonely. I hope you will come out of it surely, please pray to God and he his the healer he will surely help you. Take care! God bless you!!

Hi o2, I will feel lonely when I miss my beloved Parents and Sister who is far from me right now..and we are talking everyday through txt and I often call them too but it's different when I am with them..ANyway, when I feel this way, I will just keep myself busy from my work and listen to my favorite music.. I will also go out to stay with my garden and hang out there as well as cleaning all over the house will help me a lot!

Well i think we're the same.I also feel like that,I even just cry with no reason and sometimes I even dont have the appetite to talk to people.I dont know,but i feel like that.Like something is missing or something is different.Maybe its because of the emotions or feelings we kept inside and we never try to let go.x_x

i don't do anything drastic to fix my loneliness. however, that's mostly because i seldom fel lonely nowadays. usually, when i start to get those internal rumblings, i honesty try and sleep it off.

Their are really days that you feel lonely not everyday is a Happy day. Still we go on with life. Sometimes even when you feel emptiness. I guess we get bored and that is loneliness. That everyday is a routinary you do things the same no more other things to do. Well what I do when I feel that way I walk in the park, glance at people and look at the children, look at the clouds and think. I realized that I am still lucky then other people. That's the time I count my blessings and ask my self why should I feel lonely. I feel good when I do things and help people life. I think of happy moments and it makes me smile. Don't cry it will just spoil your day! Why not call a friend that could make you laugh. You can watch a movie that is comedy or read an interesting book. I buy a book that will make me feel good! Have nice day!

I do feel lonely every once in a while. My son is the only one that lives close and they are both working full time and going to college....they do however make sure I get to see my granddaughter once a week...when I feel lonely I usually get on the net and connect with someone like on mylot or other sites I visit...or I do crafts...or write....and that fills the void.

The best way for me is to keep busy doing things I am fond of, reading, listening to classical music, writing articles, and so on. When there is time, playing games is a good way too, tennis is my favorite.

to ease the loneliness i feel i call a friend and asked them to come over our house and watch dvd's, bakes some cakes, or cook. sometimes i asked them to go out and stroll at the mall, watch movies in the theater or play online games.

When i get lonely i tend to cry too ! I feel like no one is there for me and often times i just lay down and talk to god because i know when all else fails he'll be the only one that will listen to me !!! Umm , Sometimes I get on Mylot and chat with people whom may seem to feel the same way ...Or i go take a walk ...usually i will go get my nails done or get my feet done or something that is relaxing...

When I am lonely,I often do some housework.I want to keep our apartment clean and tidy.After that ,I watch TV,play on the computer,do some exercises,read books.But I hate cooking.So I eat something that need't cooked.Such as milk,juice,bread,cakes,tomatoes,apples,bananas,watermelons,etc.That is to say,I keep myself busy.Then I won't feel lonely.

Heloo o2bnoon, I don't feel lonly very ofetn as I like my own company and best time for me is when my husband is at work or when he has gone to bed. I keep myself very busy and when I;ve whatever thats has to be done I'm Mylotting so that s the way to keep from being lonly. Find a hobby or something that keeps your mind ticking and no time to think. Tamara

I surround myself with a lot of things to do to keep me busy. Work, hanging out with best pal, going out with girlfriend, visiting the folks, working around the house, playing an online game, watching DVDs, swimming at the beach, hiking, etc. I hardly feel lonely. Get a hobby, get more than one hobby, keep in contact with friends and family. Date women. If you do all of these, your mind wont have time to think on loneliness.

It sounds like you might be more than just lonely, but maybe a little depressed. However, lonliness can certainly be depressing. Frankly, if I feel that way I can't stay in the house. I try to get out and do something. I'll go walk around a shopping mall or just go for a walk around my neighborhood. I like to read and escaping into a good book is a good way of forgetting my troubles. Certainly, coming here is a good way to connect with people and that will help you from feeling too lonely.

hi o2bnocn I seldom feel lonely as my son is uually here, but when i do I listen to my Mozart files and I am renewed and made happy again.also I do mylot a lot and sometimes I find discussions from Gissi and they'make me laugh as seldom a little dog has ever made me laugh.'then I no longer feel lonely and sometimes mylotting really'helps me to think of other people and their problems and I try to help 'if I can.doing for others helps me so much not to think of myself at all.

why feel lonely,dont you have any activities to do.?

welll you shoud go online and look for company

Hi there Well I sometimes call someone, or go out with a friend.. :D But during the night that can be quite a problem.. Perhaps watch a movie or start reading a book :D Playing a game can be an option too ^^ Have a good day..

When I get longely, I either call my daughter or talk to her on IM, or come onto myLot and post on some discussion boards. I am starting online classes on the 20th, so I imagine I will be kept really busy and won't have time to get lonely.
