Stay busy. Keep moving. Treat yourself to a pedicure. Just don't stop moving or your situation will consume you.\nFind ONE great friend and you will NEVER be alone. If depression is a factor, I suggest you seek counseling that would fit your personal beliefs. I have suffered from depression my whole life which makes you afraid of being alone and scared all the time. Counseling was the best step I ever took, but you have to implement what you learn into your life.

just think you are "lonely" but not necessarily "alone" \ni know what loneliness and emptiness feel like, especially when i was younger. but what helped me through it was when i finally grew up and realized that the world does not revolve around me. we sometimes feel alone when we feel like we are being ignored... that's how i used to think. but now, i don't care anymore if nobody pays attention to me. you will get more positive feedbacks if you were to help other people in need -- and in return, that actually gets you noticed even more. compared to sulking in your own sadness. so try to go out and help out... it's a wonderful feeling.

Loneliness is a terrible feeling. We have all experienced it. Do you have a friend you can call? How about a neighbor you can visit . Try walking around a mall or visiting another public place. Maybe you just need to get out and do something. When I feel alone, I like to do that or I do something that will keep my mind busy like read a good book or watch a funny movie. Avoid anything negative and more depressing. :)

Go out and do things with friends.  If your friends suggest an activity and it doesn't sound like a bad idea, then accept the invitation.  Otherwise, think of an activity and suggest it to a friend.  Just go for it even though you feel unsure about the activity.  Go skiing, hiking, dancing, golf, drinks, movie, shopping, concert, campus party, etc.  Join a club and get involved.  Make friends and then make sure you maintain contact.  Once your life is filled with friends, you will be super busy and you will no longer be a loner.

Depends on who I'm travelling with... :) If it's family, talk about whatever. If it's, say, my best friend - we usually find things in any situation to make fun of and laugh at. If it were a boyfriend... none of your business... lol.\n\nIf I'm alone, I listen to music, take in the scenery, stop every now and then (breaks up the monotony), look at license plates and try to find the one that's furthest from home. Day dream, ponder, think about whatever...

Why are you alone and why are you afraid?

I'm a pretty solitary person. \n\nAlthough I have a family, I grew up isolated in a very dysfunctional household and spent much of my time alone simply because it was the easiest and safest place to be.\n\nI love to do many of my favorite things alone -- hiking, watching movies, reading, artistic pursuits, thinking, writing, and so on.\n\nThe universe is meant to be explored, there are things to discover, and sometimes it would be nice to not be hindered by the restraints that relationships can bring with them.\n\nBut to live forever, alone? Forever? Never being able to communicate with anyone ever again, or share your knowledge, or help someone who needs it, or just know there's at least one person out there who cares and understands you? What's the point of living?\n\nThat would be hell.

Lonely is a state of feeling unaccepted. You can be lonely on a crowded bus. If you find self acceptance, you can be alone and not feel lonely at all. \n\nGet to know yourself. Talk to your mate and find out what they're thinking about your relationship. Maybe they're sitting over there wondering how they can be closer to you. Maybe they're just lost and confused.\n\nFigure out who you are and what you want. Take steps to interact with people on a deep level. Smile and say hello to everyone you see. Find activities you enjoy and go do them. Choose to say goodbye to lonely.

If you feel depressed, talk to someone that you like and trust.  Don't hold it in and feel that you are alone and no one cares.  There are people that care and that person might just be looking to help someone like you.

Go out with your girl friends, do whatever girl stuff you want to, and be glad you don't have a boyfriend you have to impress by pretending to be something or somebody you aren't. See a chick flick, get a manicure/facial etc., go to a club and flirt with whoever you want to because you're single!!!\n\nBeing married is great, but being single can be fun while you're there if you make it!!

The best way to get over being lonely is to get out of the house. If you don't have money, go to the library. Read a book, the newspaper, something. Or go "people watch" at the park.........Just get out of the house! Go get an ice cream.  Call a friend! Good Luck with the loneliness. Tomorrow's gonna be a better day for you!!
