One Thing I Know About Loneliness

What's one thing that you know about loneliness?

It can be how it makes you feel, how to overcome it, how you handle it, or anything else. c:

@Emmur In my case, one thing I know is that it's not very helpful to keep putting off or subduing this feeling by distracting yourself because this feeling will come back again and again. You need the mental strength to fight loneliness and to overcome any social anxiety. Distracting yourself with music and the internet should not be your go to because those are artificial means of entertainment and subduing the soul, like how people use drugs to physically sedate themselves. Even distracting yourself with hobbies isn't very helpful. While hobbies like sports or arts or whatever are productive and don't affect the mind the way electronics and frequencies do, engaging in a hobby is a distraction, which means that you are using it to run away from the problem at hand - the loneliness. However, even with that said, it also isn't healthy or productive to stop everything you're doing to concentrate on the loneliness and coming up with why you're lonely and what you can do to solve it, because if you're working or something, it wouldn't be very helpful then and there. Find a balance and definitely pay some mind to the loneliness. Seek professional help, speak to someone on 7cups, love your close ones, talk to them. I'm dealing with loneliness more than ever. Lots of love to everyone, I hope you can overcome loneliness.

Loneliness. It's all about how you perceive it. But yeah it sucks.

@Emmur it's more on a personal level for me. It makes me feel empty; like I'm without. I hate the feeling and I can overcome it. But unfortunately now's not the right time for me.

Everyone gets lonely but no one realises how loneliness can affect people so more needs to be done to combat loneliness. Loneliness will never go away and it will always be around to those who are lonely but we can make them feel less lonely but taking time out or just be there to listen. We all can find ways to deal with loneliness and get by so please don't leave anyone out and if you see someone who's lonely to speak RI them and help anyway. It can make a difference to someone . Also never let loneliness lead to depression . It can be avoided but if it does don't isolate yourself please speak to someone. Get help

@Emmur Loneliness cannot always be solved with friends. You can be lonely even when your closest friends are with you.
