What's the best way to get over loneliness?

I get over loneliness by going grocery shopping or somewhere public. Its not a cure but it definitely helps me in the moment, when the feeling is overwhelming and I cant seem to shake it off. Seeing people walking around and doing day to day tasks reminds me that I am never alone.

You can be physically lonely or emotionally lonely. It's best to identify which of the two you're dealing with. Physically means you just need to be around other people. Seek out family or friends in this case. Emotionally means you require contact with other human beings. Find someone you trust that you could talk to about how you feel, or maybe even talking about other topics with them already relieves the feeling. If you're afraid to feel lonely again later, arrange a future time where you can meet with and/or talk to the other person again.

That depends a lot on your personal situation and what's causing the loneliness. Loneliness and isolation are often symptoms of depression, and if you have depression that's going untreated, it's best to seek help from a mental health professional. All the socializing in the world won't help if there's a mental health issue at play. That said, reaching out to people is one of the best ways to feel less alone. You can meet people in real life or, if that's not a solid option, find online communities to take part in. 7 Cups has a great forum community with tons of people who can offer both support and fun!

I personally enjoy being alone. It gives me lots of time to read and a bit of personal head-space after a long day. However, I also know what it's like to feel disconnected from others or left out and excluded. The best way to deal with this, in my opinion, is to do something you love. For me, I'd have to say that I either read or write or paint or something along those lines. Just doing something fun, or maybe something you haven't done for a while can give you a new lease on life and better your mood too.

Either learning to love and treat yourself or investing your time into a hobby is definitely one of the best ways to dismiss loneliness.

The best way to overcome loneliness is to get comfortable being alone, its good to avoid becoming dependent on people, while having friends and having good support is all well and good, relying on others to make you happy is not, go out and find something that makes you happy :)

If you are able to signing up on Meetup sites where you meet other people in your area with similar interests is a good idea. You know you will meet people who you should have an easier time talking to and who possibly could become friends. You could also sign up for a cooking class, volunteer at an animal shelter or a homeless shelter. You meet others who are there to help out and they are usually kind people. If you are not at the point of being able to go out into the world I think joining a website- Like 7 Cups and being active in the forums and chats is a great way to beat loneliness.

Obviously finding company... I have coped with loneliness and i still am and i still havent found a good way to deal with it. Spend time with your friends! Go out and walk your pet or just walk, should it be in the park or nature on in town. It is a perfect place to start if you have no friends. Dont be afraid of failure and approach someone! People are social beings and that is the reason that someone is there for you, my dear questioner. Find a hobby. Join a class or a group of some kind with same interests ypu might have. Seek professional help if you can because you have to know that people can feel lonely in the middle of a carnival. Loneliness comes from within and if it strives for too long, it can turn into a serious depression and introvertism. Seeking aid in such cases is nothing shameful. I am sending you this hug, my dear questioner, in hopes that youbwill feel less alone. You are not alone!

understand that you are not lonely. even if someone dies they are always there with you and even that person that may be dead still want to see you happy :)

The best way to get over loneliness is to listen to the parts of yourself that want to be heard. Or find people who you can open up to and who can hear you. Sometimes, it also just helps to know there are people who feel/think the same way and you're not alone.
