What do you do when you feel lonely.

I get homesickn and miss my kids and grandchildren, but I don't get lonely, as I have my wife and many friends here in Thailand. If I were you, I'd ring a friend and maybe go out for dinner, or even go shopping. Loneless is terrible. There were times in my past when I was really alone, and didn't have any close friends to call on, and it feel really dispairing. Try and look forward to a great day tomaoorw, and contact a friend.

Distract myself. I either read or cook something and eat or try to sleep or clean up the house or something like that. Everyone feels lonely at times. I am feeling lonely right now sitting in the office writing on this site. Just occupy yourself.

After I got married and have our child, you can imagine it's hard for me to have my own spare time. If I could be alone for a while, I think I will be happy because finally I can do whatever I want. I love China

A couple of thoughts... You can send letters to family members and ask them to write back to you. (You can exchange correspondence with your relatives.) This way, you will have something tangible to hold and read again and again. New friends are a poor replacement for close family members, but sometimes making new friends and doing things with new friends in the area where you live can help you to pass the time. Sorry to hear about the lonely time for you. Hope you feel better!

I normally just talk to my imaginary friend or do something quiet, or talk to people on the internet. I'm used to being alone because I don't really like a lot of the people around me. I don't like being bothered by other people if they're just going to criticize me and tell me what to do.

When I feel lonely, I often watch tv series or shows to lighten my mood. But since it seems like your're missing your family maybe you'll feel lonelier if you watch a show with family in it so avoid those shows. Are you into anime? Try watching some. Well one of the ways to fight loneliness is by posting in forums. At least in here you got to talk to other people right. You can also try eating the food you like, for me it's ice cream. yum yum. lol! Cheer Up!

Try meditation, it will give you the feeling of being together with the universe!!!!

Funny I was just thinking about this and was going to ask but didn't want to sound pathetic. I eat when I get lonely!!!

Well in such a case, I sit back and try to recollect all memories of people to whom I am missing. Because if you try to avoid some one just becasue u miss them, they will more in your mind and make you hurt. So recall all good times, you might like to cry for a while, let it go... you will feel very light later... prashant@friendstime.com www.friendstime.com

whenever i am lonely i usually try either to hang out with/talk to old friends... If that is not possible i usually go and try to meet new people

i tend to play with my pets or go for a cuddle from my boo i'm sorry you feel lonely and that your parents are so far away i often ring friends and try to have a laugh and get rid of that feeling. Engrosse myself in crefts or a book look through old phots bringing back memories. Can you not get up there to see them? Its tough when your all alone just remember there are plenty of people who love you and care about you and feel the same as you so sad that you can not be together.

when i stay lonely, i would like to listen soft music, i would like to play on computer. sometimes, i love lonely. it's quiet,it makes my head clean.

hi where've you been recently?lonely?you re supposed to be lonely from your born day even if there's many people around you,you are still lonely,not alone but lonely, lonely but not sad,not depressed.for me i'm too lifeknown to feel lonely.

well if i feel lonely , mostly i go out with friends or doing something that would keep my mind busy. Or playing computer games or talking to my friends in the telephone, anything that would keep me busy so i forget being lonely.

Hmm... with the advancement of technology, using it to keep in contact would be one good way to reduce that feeling of loneliness. Ever tried video conferencing? It is a cheap and easy way to see your love ones from across the globe. The other way, call out a few of your friends who are also alone and away from home. Then go for a meal together and gripe to each other. When you are with friends and are far from home, it is good to be around people so that you will not be thinking too much and get all upset and depress. Be glad that everyone is safe, and that you will very soon be able to meet up with your family once you achieve the task you set out to do.

When I feel lonely I will often go on the computer visiting sites such as mylot, facebook or my family sites. My parents live far from me also so when I feel lonely I will ring one of them up and chat to them or another family member. I enjoy watching tv and listening to music to cheer me up also.

No one can help you except yourself.Know whats the cause of your loneliness and try to do things that would prevent you from being one.Keep yourself busy.Do the things that you need to do.Do not let your feeling rule over yourself.Fight against it.

hi, i have felt like this a lot of times. in the beginning i never was able to manage it. but now i have my wonderful friends who change my mood when i feel so. when i feel alone i give a call to anyone of them, and thus i come out of it very soon. they make me happy all the times. they are there whenever i need them. happy mylotting!

whenever i feel sad and lonely, i simply try to think of happy thoughts. if life isn't really going pretty much the way i plan it to be, i simply focus on the things i have left than those that i've lost. once i start counting all the little things that i sometimes take for granted, i usually come up with a very good reason to smile ;) ...

If you have a partner, call her/ him. Else, go find something interesting, example; my Lotting! haha if that doesn't work, take a short nap
