Lonely ??

[lapd]

Sorry if this is a little downer, but last night/ this morning was having dinner with new best friend and she asked me was I lonely ??

Got message on here yesterday, from lady saying she felt lonely too.

Now when I thought about question, I think answer is probably yes. Why ?? Although sometimes I just go home to sleep and that could be either day or night, when I get up and apartment is empty it does hit me. For as long as I can remember I have always had someone there, but due to circumstances I will be alone for next few months.

So nothing personal but some of you guys must live alone, and you girls do when traveling, so whats the answer? what do you do?. I work hard, have very little time off, and have a few good friends, but one I have spent days and nights with lately is not back for few weeks. Special Lady is gone for awhile.

If you have suggestions let me know, but DO NOT turn thread into row.Or slagging.

Thanks

You can be lonely and around people, sad side effect to modern society where most people are only worried about themselves and not others. One way I find to combat that is get active, the less active you are the more likely you are to feel lonely but Meursault is right, if you arenot happy in your own skin then you're going to feel detached and lonely when you're alone..

I fucking love this quote. You can have everyone around you but still feel like you're the only person living on the planet.

The thing about being a loner in general, and having the occasional bout of real loneliness, is that it makes you appreciate genuine company when you have it. You're alone for awhile - enjoy it.

everyone feels lonely at times, its common, best thing to do is either get into watching box sets of tv shows, or do things that you enjoy that are not dependant on two or more people, for you it is not like its a long term things, just until your friend gets back so don't sweat it too much, it is only an issue because your thinking about it

I live in a giant shoe from which I cannot escape and have only a rock for company. So yes.

Now I don't live alone, but it just goes to show that loneliness is a very human experience. Our friends and family are scattered across the globe, and very rarely actually live near us. I only get to see significant portion of my family maybe once every 3-5 years. I also work independently so much of my day as an artist is spent solo in studio and occasionally there are days where feeling lonely can be very real.

In my opinion, the very best way to spend such time is by challenging yourself to try new things and adventures. Not only will it keep your mind off of feeling lonely, but it can be a way to better yourself as a person. Just by nature of going outside your comfort levels or normal routine can be very rewarding. Everybody is different, but anybody can do this. It could be taking advantage of cheap plane tickets and going somewhere you've never gone before, it could be building something or other DIY project, take a local class or attend some sort of expo, attempt to prepare some sort of meal if you've never cooked before, go get a secret tattoo, watch a foreign film, attempt brewing your own beer at home. I don't know what your personal interests are, or what sort schedule you have, or what kind of life you lead, but the possibilities are endless and Google will be your friend in this.

Maybe you find something new that you really love and decide to pursue more, or maybe it will be a terrible failure and you discover that you are not meant to be a brewmaster or chef. The point is you did something new, and that you did it for yourself. At the very least you will get some sort of story out of it, whether you ended up liking it or not. You will be a more interesting person than you were before. You might even end up meeting new people. When you do finally get to spend time with friends and they ask how you have been or what you've been up to, you will have something to talk about outside of the standard "just work and watching tv" answer.

Ultimately, when you invest time in yourself, others will want to invest in more time spent with you too.

I have reason to be lonely but I'm not lonely - I am happy in my own company - but it's nice to visit a girl here now and again!!
