You cope by believing that one day you'll eventually find that genuine friend or find that special relationship with someone. You have to believe in yourself to believe you'll get what you deserve

I try to work on myself and do things that would make me happy with myself and usually try to find new people on the way. I've had to step out of my comfort zone many times and it gets easier the more you do it to make new friends.

Focus on things you love. You enjoy while you are doing. It gives huge relief, and help to make up your mind.

You are your own friend. Just remember that you have a lot of capabilities that you can do alone without people helping you, you should stand on your own feet and pursue your dreams

You learn to laugh and accept that you are in solitude because you need to build yourself up before you become emotionally available for anyone.

This is really hard. For me, I found solace online and in my music, but truly being alone isn't easy. The best thing I can think of is just to pick up a passion or hobby, or find friends through other means, even though it may not be the close friendships that you crave

Went around trialing local clubs, finding one I liked until I came across a Kendo club. Made many friends there, and it motivates me to get up in the mornings

I totally understand what you're going through. I'm basically going through a very similar thing. I've found that connecting with people online, such as here on 7 cups can be extremely helpful. I've also found that throwing myself into my hobbies and passions such as art, music, and volunteering can make me feel so much less lonely and upset. If you can find ways to fill up the space and time that might normally be filled by friends/a relationship in ways that make you happy, you should find you feel a bit better. Also, pets are helpful, especially the fluffy cuddly kinds :) Hope this helps, take care

I distract myself with all my hobbies, i create special moments for myself. I paint and put my emotion into it, i play games and try to enjoy my own company. It's important to try and like ourselves and enjoy our own company as we will be with ourselves for quite a long time.
