What's the best way to get over loneliness?

The best way to get over loneliness is embracing it as part of the human condition. This does not mean accepting loneliness as an unescapable reality but a challenge to be overcome.

Moving out to place with lot of noise can help. Else making friends is most efficient way of overtaking loneliness. Talking to strangers can also help.

Getting over loneliness is hard, you can be in a crowded room with the most wonderful people and yet feel lonely. An option might be to start out by just finding one person you can truly connect with. One person you dare be yourself with, one person you would like to get to know better. Often being lonely is not so much about being alone, but feeling no connection to anyone. I would say the best way to get over loneliness if by forging one meaningful connection first, and take it from there.

Loneliness is like an enemy. You have to think of it as a person who is trying to get the better of you but you cannot let that happen. You have to fight back or else it will engulf you and it is very difficult to get out. In order to do this you have to surround yourself with the the people you love and/or the things you love to do. I find that this is the best support when you are on the battlefield with loneliness.

Talk to people online because for some reason you feel more confident online and its especially good if their going through the same thing because you can help eachother and also gain friend making you less lonely

Loneliness can be overwhelming because its often stubborn with a sense of misunderstood. We feel that no one understands us, no one loves us, no one cares about us. But the worst unrealized reason of all is that we don't love and care about ourselves and trick ourselves into exaggerating and miscalculate that its universal. There are always people who care about us. All we need to do is reach out for them.

Loneliness is as much an attitude as it is a reality, being open and friendly and feeling connected is immensely helpful, and these are all things which can be achieved through sheer mental control. This is why thinking-pattern changes such as CBT are effective with loneliness. Obviously, hanging out with good friends and chatting with strangers may help, but sometimes that is not possible, sometimes it may not be effective, and everyone must deal with alone time at some point.

Happiness comes from within, quieten your mind, speak to your inner being. Once you love yourself, your love will be shown to the rest of the world through your actions and thoughts. Be your own best friend, be the master of your emotions. Be at peace and loneliness will never enter your soul.

Surround yourself with nothing but positive vibrations. Seek friendship with an open heart and a free mind. Sounds hippie-ish, but it's true. Once you open yourself up and look towards the right place, there's a great possibility that loneliness will be forever gone.

Socialization. I know that that is not a very unique answer and it might not even be what you want to hear but it really is the best cure. Or even just getting out of the house or your every day places that you go to and traveling to a different area. I experienced depression first hand and I tried everything I could to make it stop. I was not able to get completely out of it until I started actually going outside and socializing with people.
