What's the best way to get over loneliness?

Find someone new or talk to a friend do something a regular basis like the cinema football or get a pet they help alot

I've learned that there are always people who are there for you, but you often times have to reach out and initiate interaction first.

Embrace solitude and the idea that we came alone.. And we leave alone.Everything in between, is temporary or fleeting.

the best way to get over lonliness is to get yourself busy doing something that you love.. chase that dream that have.. hone your skills.. workout... make new friends.. do yoga.. go fishing.. listen to music .. play games.. get a pet.. do whatever it takes to be happy :)

I always find that a nice way to get over loneliness is to take a walk through the park with my dog, Max. He is always comforting to me. It also helps to become more friendly, open minded, and approachable when trying to make new friends. Try complimenting someone three times a day, it makes the people feel good, and you feel great for making them smile, build off these small social interactions and try to strike up a conversation with someone you might want to get to know a little better. :)

Everyone is different, I find the thing that works best for me is to get lost in something that you can think about so you stop thinking about being lonely, for me its gaming and tv shows, but anything could work if it interests you, movies, reading, going for a walk, etc.

Pull yourself out of it, don't lock yourself away from the outside world. There's always someone who has time to get coffee with you, but YOU need to make some effort.

For me the best way to get over loneliness is to talk to other people and think of good thoughts. It helps alot.

For me, it's putting myself back out there. I find a hobby, something I enjoy, then try to include other people in it. Live music, a book club, a dance class. Group activities keep my loneliness at bay, and help me make new friends while becoming the best me.

The question here is why I am or feel lonely? In what form do I interact with other people? Is it through the internet? I think humans need human touch and to be close to other humans to feel complete, and if for some reason I have felt lonely, it is because I have thought that I wasn't interesting enough, or that other people were not interesting enough and that they would not understand me if they really knew who I was. This of course is faulty thinking which can easily be disputed since there is no way I could possibly know what ALL other people would think of me and how they would judge me. This is why as a defence mechanism, I discard other people instead and find reasons why I think they are boring. Of course there is also the environmental factor, which is super powerful. For example, If my real passion are horses and I work in a car repair shop with people who talk about engines and cars all day, then perhaps, I am lonely because I don't feel like I belong in that environment . If I then change the complete environment (workplace, country or city) and focus on what I feel passionate about, I will be surrounded my similar minded people who might appreciate me more, thus increasing my chances of feeling a sense of belonging.
