How to deal with loneliness?

I know exactly what you're going through, I'm goin through it too. My best friend started fighting last week over a stupid little thing, and after trying to call her I got text saying that she doesn't want to talk to my anymore. This is pretty much the only person that I have, it's hard, but I'll get through and she'll come around in time(*crosses fingers*). But its gonna suck for a while.

 

Brian, I think you kind of answered your own question. Getting out and meeting new people...easiest to do if you do your hobbies/activities and join a club. So if you're into bicycling, you can join a club and meet new people there. I've never been the type to *actively* look to meet new people. I just meet them when I cross paths and let stuff happen. Also, it doesn't have to be an activity you already do, but something that may interest you that you want to learn more about. i.e. sailboat racing!

One of my friends owns a couple horses (technically one is a pony) and she keeps them at a barn with about 20 other horses. Her and her husband can afford a property to have their own stables, but choose to have them at this larger facility more for the social aspect. I didn't understand it at first, but after visiting a few times, I started to see that it actually is a place like that. My mom used to lease horses for a number of years when I was growing up, but never for those reason (just hunter/jumper lessons after work) so it was a new thing for me.

 

For sure. Being an only child I think I'm use to needing time to sit in silence by myself. Although the older I get the less time I need of that and the more I need company of others.

lmao!

 

Good point.

 

When one goes from being a teen to young adult their focus changes. Your buddies may grow apart from you. Sure it can be lonely in transition but you will survive, get over it & move on. Career & romantic relationships may be the focus in ones 20s. Friends are never again the same as in high school & college. It’s just the way it is.

Work on your career & get your future on track. The gym is a great place to meet gals & guys to go into other activities w/. Got bike?

 

I work 12 hour days now, 7 days a week, far from home, with people I find it hard to respect.


Thus... I drink a lot.

If you are in KL go to the beach bar downtown, if you are lonely there after 5 mins then there is no hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I've been thinking about picking up the guitar, played it a few times before, twinkle twinkle little star, but it was difficult since I am left handed and right handed guitar felt very awkward.

 

Do it !

Its incredibly therapeutic once you learn a few chords. Stressed ? Just strum for awhile.

 

Brian, I have been to the place just the once I was in KL for 5 days doing an audit on Malaysian airlines, I can assure you I was not lonely at that time!!!!!!!!!!
