How do I stop feeling so isolated?

At times we feel isolated because we are isolated, try to get involved in others lives, you might not necessarily enjoy what they are doing, but you will be taking an action towards it, and the more you get involved with others the more they will want you around and thus the more they will get involved with you, hence no more isolation ;)

Isolation is not necessarily caused by being physically isolated. So the first step should be identifying what is causing that feeling. Is it being physically removed from social circles? Are you struggling to feel accepted by people around you? Or is it an internal struggle. Once you identify that, you can focus on building a strategy to cope. If you are physically isolated, consider finding a way to be closer to people. If you are isolated because the people around you are not welcoming, considering finding a new group or environment to expose yourself too. If it is an internal predicament such as social anxiety or the effects of a mental illness, consider reaching out to a support group who can help you learn to cope with such things.

Push your limits. Be outgoing when all you want is to be by yourself. Understand that if someone else doesn't like it, oh well. You deserve to be happy being yourself. They don't deserve you in their life if they want to push you back in to the hole you tried so hard to climb out of.

Isolation can feel really challenging but it can also motivate us to seek further human contact. This could be by taking up a new hobby or by joining a new class or group.

I would say make or find connections to people or to someone that you can keep hold of in most any situation, a failsafe if you will. Keep a connection to some outside place, if possible. Either through another person, through a computer or phone, or something. Coming from isolated feelings myself, That is how I escaped them. And how I escape them to this day.

Socialise. I understand that the word is easier to say than to actually do it. Start with something you enjoy doing and seeing if there are groups or clubs etc, If ever you feel isolated come on here and talk to us :)

It is a hard step, but I think going online and finding a community that you are interested in is the best first steps. You already have something in common with the online group and it can make it easier to talk to people.

Consider all of the things that cause that feeling in you. Consider the places you most feel that way, the people you most feel that way around. Is there something youc an do to change any of these things? Is there something you can do to introduce new options into your world, like new places, new healthy risks, or new hobbies that might both distract you and attract like-minded people? Be crative! Remember, you cannot stop a feeling. You can only maybe stop what is causing the feeling, perhaps, or try to change something about your environment when this feeling arises or as a preventative measure.

The best way to stop feeling isolated is to go out and partake in things you enjoy. Such as joining a club, a music group, going to sporting events. When you surround yourself with people who have the same interests as you, you will more likely make connections with them and create relationships!
