How do you deal with it?

Loneliness is a passing emotion.

Almost like a craving for cigarette.

It comes and goes.

Stay positive, things might not be great... but that doesn't mean you can't be.

"How do you deal with it?"

Depends on the reason for feeling lonely.

I can feel my most lonely in a crowd. I have different coping mechanisms depending on the reason - sometimes I just embrace it by going on long walks, other times I’ll reach out to friends.

It's a difficult one and one that it's difficult to talk about.

For me since lockdown and yes I worked through it.

At times its like I'm still in lockdown.

Still working full time and a mix of shifts doesn't help.

Family friends I think are in the same position.

If I don't make contact with them, it could be months before I hear anything from them. And when I do hear from them normally something has happened.

As for dealing with it. I get on with it

I'm alone, but am I lonely? Honestly it's 50/50.

couple, us we him her.

I just remind myself that our time on this planet is very short,even when you are lonely your never really alone there's life all around us in different forms we can choose to ignore it or seek beauty and life, appreciate everything.

I've been lonely my entire life even though I have a ,wife and children, now I am comfortable with solitude and actually prefer my own company to the company of others.

Luckily my wife is my best friend

My sympathies, it's not easy. You've experienced a loss of a constant companion. It's only natural you'll feel their absence. I've been there.

"How do you deal with it?"

Back when I was single, my strategy was always to be proactive. I would go out and do things rather than just sitting about at home. Just being around others gives more opportunity for interaction.

Having The dog is a massive help love lying with him at night chilling watching telly once everything done. A dog is always happy and excited to see you when you come home and it really does make a difference. I literally can’t put into words how much I love my dog haha

I don’t. I ignore it now. Thanks for the reminder.

I fill that void of company with things. Fab, for my social media for conversation . Gardening/plants for some kind of connection. Music for lifting my soul… and other stuff. But it’s the silence and thoughts that will kill my vibe.

I feel a distinction between being alone and feeling lonely. One is switching the light off, knowing where the light is. The other feels like fading light and soon it’s night while you were still making day plans.

Its very difficult to deal with loneliness, there's no instant solution. There are things you can do to work towards feeling less lonely though. Find a way to meet people e.g. hobby clubs, volunteering, getting a second job in a bar etc look for social groups on Facebook and give those a try. The chances are that at first you'll feel more lonely until you establish one or two friendships.

Hope you find a resolution op.

Invest in yourself, loneliness is a craving for company yet you cannot explain it, so put some time into you, discover who you are, read books, exercise that brain, learn new skills, go for walks in the countryside, far too much negativity about being on your own, they will tell you that you are lonely, they will tell you that you need to be with someone, horseshit is what that theory is, you are fully able to cope with being on your own, you just don’t know it, good luck OP go out and discover you, failing that ….. have a good wank and get to the pub, there’s people there

I find activities i can do on my own - walking, reading, gym, hiking, listening to music etc. I'm also joining hiking clubs - seems like a good way to meet new people.

I like audio books as they feel like company and you can lose yourself for a little while... I try to listen to them whilst walking, so I'm not staring at the 4 walls all the time

Oh yeah. Still sometimes 4 years on.

There's never really been a solution other than take the pain.

It's just not as gut-wrenchingly harrowing now. I can never work out whether that's because it's lessened or I am just used to it.

Maybe it's both.

It's a passing emotion for me, it never stays.

When I get the chance to be alone I absolutely relish indulging in self care, a book or movie.

Some days though I do genuinely miss someone but only ever for a while.

I go out and do a bit of retail therapy or book a trip somewhere.

I used to be tempted to seek out some company via meets but those just served to remind me why I choose to be alone.

I think this is testimony that you’re not alone, but the feeling of loneliness is something you need to work through and determine the cause. My inbox is always open for people who are struggling and need someone to listen

At this point I'm convinced that my loneliness is mostly down to my own doing. My own loneliness, nobody else's lonely situation.

It is the vicious cycle of being lonely causing a lack of motivation, but despising the loneliness.

When it hits I just roll with it. Sit on it and wait for it to pass in my own ways.

It’s the great mystery isn’t it, you can still feel lonely in the most fulfilling relationship and with a huge circle of friends and activities. Something is missing and it can be hard to figure what it is. If you’re lucky you just need to get laid regularly

I think I was probably the least lonely when I was in church community in my twenties focussed on fixing the world!

I broke up with my X of over 20 years , some time ago , never got used to it , have some good friends and work mates , but there is an empty void left , and that is what gets me .. the habits of living with someone , company and someone to talk to , even just to chat total nonsense .

I’ve mullered most streaming services , read books , listened to music until my ears bleed , and it helps in the moment , but never fills the hole .

When I was ready to start dating again , I tried dating apps but it’s bland to say the least and a minefield of fakery .There is no easy answer , it’s just one of those things that sucks but just love in hope that someday I’ll find someone to share time with .

Kind of used to it now after over a decade alone since divorce. No friends to call on so I guess I've just accepted that I'll be alone for the rest of my life.
