Only the lonely

What do you do when you're feeling your loneliest?

 

I am in a place right now, with my self, that is the loneliest and most introverted time I've ever had. It's not even something I can fight off my distracting myself (see: forcing myself to go to parties, bottles of wine, and watching tv). I think this is a push for some real healthy self reflection but I'm a little worried on where to even start. Or how!

 

Any advice or guidance would be welcomed.

It can be quite difficult, yet counter-active, when we avoid seeing people because we feel lonely.

 

But I can truly say that when I get the strength to get out there and visit with a group of happy, healthy friends (even just to have coffee for an hour) it makes a world of difference.

I am dealing with this too since I moved to a new area and know no one else but my coworkers.

 

I am excessively reading, writing while listening to music, going out for a walk... all while waiting for my fiance to come on skype. Sometimes I will purposely work LONG hours at work just to keep my mind off. I am getting a gym membership to do some fitness classes. I'm debating about doing volunteer work for the election campaign because I met a ton of people over the summer until I moved.

 

yea... it is a hard battle. I feel you.

My loneliest eh? What do I do? I don't have a magic formula. Most times I exercise, the endorphins seem to keep me medicated until it passes. ENA if it gets me up late. Used to be friends but ..lol.. after they hear your story a few hundred times, no one answers the phone.

 

Lately I've challenged myself to learning the guitar and that eats up alot of time and I find a strange comfort in the tunes. As ragged as they are.

These are all good suggestions. I have a dusty guitar that I've always wanted to learn. I also love to write but don't really make time for it, now I suppose I can. I feel like the older I get the more introverted I am. I used to be the life of the party! Maybe this is just a natural shift, who knows.

 

It's hard to make friends in your late 20s!

 

Thanks for all the ideas
