What's the best way to get over loneliness?

I think this depends on the situation. In a world of 6+ billion people, knowing that number alone and feeling lonely compounds that feeling, or at least it does for me. I feel lonely quite often because of all of my work travel. I don't see clients outside of the work environment, nor do I spend any time with colleagues in other cities aside from when we cross paths in the field. I'm introverted, so that doesn't help matters any, either. I have friends, but they aren't all that close. I think some of that is my own doing from pushing people away when I'm depressed and partly because work is a great excuse to avoid social contact. Yet... I crave some social contact. I do know in the past though, that I'd get into romantic relationships, hopping from one to the next within a week or two because I couldn't stand the thought of being alone. The best suggestion I have for this is to learn to be comfortable with being alone with yourself. Discover who you are and then try to meet people of common interests. Photography meetups have been great for me in the past as they have all sorts of people come to them, and some you kind of kick it off with. If anything, they may be someone you can have lunch or dinner with every so often.

the best way to get over loneliness is to go out and find things to do, find a new hobby that interests you.

In my opinion, the best way to get over loneliness is to reach out to someone. It's hard if you don't think anyone really cares, and that causes you to feel even worse, but the only way to let others know you are lonely is to tell them. If those people don't think your feelings or loneliness is something to care about, then find better people because the other ones are wrong. You deserve to be heard and understood, and you deserve to be cared for. Your feelings are valid.

Find something you enjoy doing. Happiness isn't dependent on being around other people, spend your time doing things you love and from there everything will become so much easier.

Reach out, talk to family or friends if there's any you feel would listen to you and be respectful towards you. Be more social whether it's in school or at your job or any hobbies or at the gym or at a park. Try to talk to people - if you already have people in your life that you can talk to, then try to talk about deeper topics and get to know one another more and tell them about how you feel so you can get support and comfort and feel like you're being seen for who you really are and being understood and accepted. Communication is the way to do it.

I think you could get a family pet and try to bond with it, or go out and explore try to make new friends in diffrent places

Usually finding something that makes us forget that we are lonely. Keeping busy etc. I know it's usually not that easy but the time we spend doing something that grabs our attention makes the time go by faster and by the time we know it we are already starting another day!

The best way to get over lonliness is to love yourself and start having fun alone! Do the things you enjoy, and indulge in your hobbies...

I often feel that thinking about something else helps a lot. As well as talking to other people about this.

Do something that you love doing or try out something fun and new like baking, running or maybe reading.
