How do you deal with loneliness

Hey. I've just moved to Australia with my parents and have not been able to get a job yet so still don't know anybody. i am originally from the UK and am 22 and have just graduated from University. It was really hard to say goodbye to all my friends and I am very lonely here at the minute. I have no brothers or sisters so I am really hoping I get a job soon so I can meet some people/ I think once I get a few friends here I won't feel so lonely and will feel a lot happier. Its very strange being so far away from my friends but we try to keep in contact on Skype or Facebook. I spend most of my time reading or on Facebook! Hope you feel less lonely soon. At least you have somebody to talk to!

Hi Leeroz, I seldom feel lonely, I am full occupied everyday, and only go to bed when I am exhausted. Mylot is a good place to come. Happy mylotting here!

I used to feel very lonely whenever I would return to school after the holidays as I have always studied in a boarding school..What kept homesickness away then was the time spent in studying ,playing outdoor games n constant rambling with my friends..so the best way to keep loneliness away is to make new friends and be with people who share the same interest like yours! Have a nice day!

The best way to break lonelyness is to talk with someone very near to u. and go somewhere out to a busy place where u can meet many people. Going out in fresh air also keeps away your lonelyness. Thanx

Its true that you will feel homesick when you move abroad. With time, you will make new friends who will spend time with you and ease your loneliness. When I feel lonely, I just fire up MSN Messenger and talk to people or watch videos online. Reading books and talking a walk also help.

I am a lonely person myself, I am dealing with my loneliness now by doing bible study and being in the company of people that is studying the word of God, I take walks in the evenings. I am without a job and most of my friends were the ones that I worked with now I don't hear from them anymore, I live alone, I do have family but they are in their own world and not even aware of my loneliness, so I understand what you are going through. I am also asking and seeking God for his help in dealing with this loneliness, and the answer I have gotten is wait and be patient he will answer.

That's a good things to do to curb your loneliness. I also felt lonely at my palce, so I make myself bus with writing, reading and watching television beside doing my actual work. I tried not to think too much about home, and always expect the ebst for my family. I know they know I love them and pray for their safety and health. I believe there are other things that will make you occupied that can make you less lonely, like find money in the internet, you so caught with it until it become addictive. happy Mylotting

Whenever am lonely, I visit a friend, there we call on other friends, we order food at the nearby fastfood, enjoy eating, a little talk and sing a long after. Before I go home I pass by a church and pray. As I go ho home I felt I was relieve of my loneliness.

It is very difficult to deal with lonliness. I suggest the following stpes. 1. Pray more, the prayer will give the feeling that god is there for you and it also gives a lot of self confidence and it brigtens your prayer. 2. Read lots of good books and it will reduce your time for unnecessary thoughts. 3. Watch television - watch more cartoons and comedy movies. 4. Try to spend time with friends. 5. Join mylot, you will get addicted to it. So, there won't be any free time for unnecessary thougts. Totally, keep yourself always busy.

Loneliness is created when you have not much to do. Aside from cooking try creating a new hobby, mingle with new friends or create something out of nothing. When I feel lonely I try a lot of things and discover talents I never knew I had. I even earn extra from it. there is nothing wrong with being lonely. It is normal. You just have to be busy to make it worthwhile.

Homesickness is normal to those persons who havent experienced being far away from their families because you missed them so much....that's undestandable...i think you should let yourself be busy for you to forget that...divert your attention from your families to any activities and then let that feeling be an inspiration to you instead of making it as a problem...

Hi, you spent lots of time at home or computer. You should go out to find some interesting things. Also you can go shopping with some friends. Only with computer, you may feel more lonely. I used to feel lonely before, i know your feeling. At that time ,i force myself to go outside or do sport exercise. Wish you happy!

When you're homesick the only thing you have to do is distract yourself but not to such an extent where you want to completely forget about home. It is nothing wrong to remember Home and miss it, but rather it is not good to turn this situation into an undeniable need. You can mainly go out with friends and enjoy yourself. I found this the best way as I too had this issue. At some point you'll get used it as I too got used to it and after that I did not feel particularly homesick but I always did miss home. Prayer is good too. It always helps to pray. Well, I hope things will get better for you.

Go out. It's what I do. From the time I was born, my parents moved around a bit, and dragged me along with them. Just when I'd start to make friends, get used to a new place, a new school, a new culture, we'd move. When I left home, I ended doing the same thing (it's true, I think, that we tend to do what our parents did). I identify with no place, culture or people, but I hated always being the foreigner, the stranger, the odd one out. In the West, I'm a foreigner, because I'm Asian. In Asia, I'm a foreigner, because I spent most of my life in Europe. When people would ask me where I'm from, I always have a hard time answering. So I went out. I don't mean I went clubbing or bar hopping (I don't drink), but I treated each place I went to as if I were on a tour. When you keep an open mind about where you are, when you accept your new place instead of longing for where you originally came from, you open yourself to many people and experiences that sustain you. With so many wonderful people in the world, I think loneliness is the result of wanting more than what we have. When we are with someone, we want to be with someone else. When we are with that someone else, we miss the first one. Sometimes, even when we are with someone we love, we want to be alone. At home, we long to be somewhere else. So we go somewhere else, but then we miss home. It really doesn't end, does it? In going out, just walking about the place, exploring my neighborhood, or the local mall, or whatnot, I am accepting my new place, and whatever experiences and people it may have to offer me. If I learn nothing new that day, or meet no new people, no worries. There is still tomorrow. It gets better with time, leeroz_09. Good luck.

I do feel for you, I am in the same position and it is hard. I moved from England to America to get married, so I have my husband here, like you, and that helps of course, but it doesn't stop homesickness living in a culture very different from my own (a lot more different than I think most people imagine England and America would be) and away from my friends and family. I knew no one in America except my husband. I tried to fight it and felt guilty and like I should be just getting on with it, but after 5 years here now I have realised that part of me will always be homesick, and a little lonely because I have left behind my own people and culture and friends, and some of that is never replaceable, even though you make a new life where you are. And thats ok. Sometimes I am sad. Sometimes I have to go and make a cup of tea and eat some English chocolate and order English TV on my netflix queue! Prayer is a thing for me too, I am a Christian so this has helped in the sense that I feel I can turn to my faith - I actually had the words of Ruth in the Bible in my wedding vows, 'your people will be my people' etc (my name is Ruth!) and it also helps in the sense that I had an opportunity to make friendsstraight away because at least we had a starting point in common. I have foundlike mindedpeople within that and work in the music ministry so have made a few friends with creative things in common. I have really struggle with homesickness and many times sayI just want to go home. I am visiting England next week for two weeks, and Ihave made a video/slideshow of my life here to show my friends back home. While editing that I actually got quite emotional because, while I would still love to go home, I realised as I went through my photos that there are a lot of people here I actually care about and would miss, and I have made a life for myself here, which gives me hope that it will get better over time. I hope things go better for you xx

Perhaps what you are feeling is homesickness and not loneliness. Afterall you do have your husband there with you. You are out of your comfort zone and you are missing family and friends back home. I don't know how long you have been away from home but try to find some way to make new friends where you are and maybe that will help I am a widow and I lost my husband in the summer of '08. I am living alone for the first time in my life. I am sooo miserable. I am not the kind of person who does well alone anyway. I am dealing with it by trying to occupy my mind too. That is one reason I am on this site. I talk to friends as much as possible. I get out only two or three times a week. But late at night.. like now.. I suffer the worse. I hate being "out there" and single again. I am ready for a relationship but it is so hard to find. I do not date for the sake of dating. I want to get to know someone better even before I date them. I feel for your situation. Loneliness and being homesick are both very difficult things to deal with. Good luck and I hope you get some relief from your pain soon.

Just keep your schedule busy. But dont just be busy all by your self. Being alone would add up to your feeling of loneliness even though youre doin anything.Spent time with your friends. Doin things with others would keep your mind away from thinking about home. And perhaps could make you smile more and eventually merrier.God will make you stronger.

Well when I feel loneliness then I just take a book and read until it get finished.And sometimes listen good music which help me a lot.
