The best thing about bad feelings like loneliness is that they are temporary. All feelings are only temporary. Personally, I have felt lonely many, many times in my life and I can promise you that every time it feels so hopeless and like it will last forever, it won't. Remember that there is someone out there who loves you and appreciates you and hold onto that in the times when you feel alone.

A friend once told me that nothing is ever permanent. Not even life. So this loneliness you're feeling is just temporary. Remember to keep a positive mind, be grateful, and take advantage of this short, yet wonderful life you have. Focus only on yourself and what you can do to become genuinely happy because only you get to decide on what goes on in your life.

You don't...unless you take a few steps to knocking it on the head for good! Loneliness is a dark empty space we all find ourselves in at various points in our life. But when we do it's crucial to recognise it and then take action to move away from it. Whether it's joining groups such as MeetUps or finding a specific interest that brings you into contact with people it's important to understand that loneliness is far too hard and life is far too brief to have to deal with for long.

I know the feeling of loneliness won't last forever because I've been there once. Then I went to seek out help. Sometimes I still feel lonely, but I have people there for me now.

Once you acknowledge that you feel loneliness, you can choose to wait it out, or fight it. If you choose to wait it out, remember that time always really heals all the wounds, but if you want to fight it, do something about it, surround yourself with positive people, do what makes you happy, try really hard to think positively. It may take time, but it will be worth it at the end.

Feeling lonely is normal. It's not always easy to deal with, and sometimes you have to deal with it for a long time. But things do get better in time. It varies how much time it might take of course. Sometimes it's hard to tell if you are getting better over time. It's easy to linger on something. People by their nature remember highlights in their life. Generally when people are lonely, we're remembering fun or happy experiences in our past linked to what we're lonely about. Some great ways to start thinking positively is to make sure that loneliness doesn't keep us from going out an continuing to do things. It doesn't have to be anything big, little things work just fine. It's hard to say you'll never be lonely every again. But you can be lonely without it hurting as much too. Remember, there are always people out there for you if you start feeling down.

Because nothing will really last forever. If you remembered all of your tough times you went through, you probably was thinking the same thing when you were suffering. So the only way to find out whether it will last forever or not, is just to hold on, wait, and see!

Because it is a universal law that nothing lasts. Everything in the universe follows a cycle. It starts small, gets bigger and then disappears. However, you can accelerate the natural process of loneliness via activities that would fill the void in your life
