When I'm feeling lonely I......(Let's brainstorm ideas!)
*Loneliness is a universal experience, you are not alone in this!*
*Loneliness is a common experience, you are not weird/abnormal!"
How do you cope with loneliness?
What do you do when you're feeling alone?
Let's brainstorm ideas, and try them out next time when we're feeling lonely! When I'm feeling lonely I ______________
*Tagging some people that might be interested! @ItsPreeti @Emmur @PhoenixAsh
I'll get the ball rolling!
When I'm feeling lonely I go for a jog in the park!
A lot of people jog by themselves in the park, and I don't know why but jogging in the park and seeing others jogging by themselves makes me feel less lonely, plus exercising makes me feel lighter and helps to cope with my stress as well.
I like to watch tv and movies, go for walks, square dance and volunteer at the food bank.
@DanaMH
Oh volunteering is a very nice choice! What do you usually do at the food bank?
@terrytee
They have big boxes they bring in and we sort cans, jars and boxes of stuff into other boxes and then stack them on pallets for shipping to the food banks around the area.
@DanaMH
It's great that you're doing volunteer work, giving back to the community! <3
I try to accomplish something :). I pick an activity I like, set a small goal, and accomplish that goal. I think "feeling lonely" = "being alone" + "feeling down on yourself." If I could at least eliminate the "feeling down on yourself" part, that helps lessening the "feeling lonely."
@thoughtfulPillow12
I totally agree with you! It feels so good when we can accomplish something and it helps us to redirect out focus to something else <3
@terrytee Yay I'm glad you think so too! I hadn't thought about the shifting focus part until you mentioned it!
@thoughtfulPillow12
Definitely! For me what I like to do is to keep myself a to-do-list everyday. That way I'll have something to do, no time for me to feel lonely, and by the end of the day it just feels so good to have accomplish something!!
@terrytee Definitely! That sounds awesome! I'm glad we figured out one aspect and cure of loneliness! This psychological condition is so fascinating to me (only since I struggle with it so much 
)
I listen to or play music.
@goldentown96

@terrytee Find new music to listen to and go for a walk outside!
@NaughtNoel97
What type of music do you like to listen to? XD
@terrytee I can honestly listen to just about any genre but mostly I listen to rock music like Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle and recently Ive discovered Starset and theyre a pretty solid band if youre into that kind of music! Im also a huge fan of Ben Howard but hes more folk type music!
@NaughtNoel97
I have to be honest with you I have never heard of those before! Haha! But thank you so much for sharing and introducing them to me!!!!! I think I'll listen to it on Youtube 
@terrytee haha thats no problem!! Youll have to let me know what you think when you get time to listen!
@terrytee
Love the pictures and the deals!!😊😊😊😊!!
@GuardianAngel77
Ohhhhg thank you so much that is very kind of you!
@terrytee
You are welcome!! 😊😊😊😊!!
@terrytee
I lose myself in stories by reading novels.
@plumField5702
Reading novel is definitely a great way to spend our time by ourselves! There's something magical about reading novels as we immersed ourselves into another world, it feels so great and it gives us a chance to escape the world we're in.
When I'm feeling lonely I go to the web and check out the pleasant activities list and see what I can do on that list and maybe meet a new friend(s). I have met a lot of good people this way over the last year.
@DanaMH
Oh finding and meeting with people who share the same interests as us is also definitely a good idea! <3
