You should talk to your current close companion or bitterly your family that understand your condition best and tell your urges if the heart to the one you think will never neglect you such as of your parents and surely they will have a solution for you either from going seeking help to a professional which is okay or going to steps to a great brave socialization guided cared step by step.

Try to identify why you want to isolate yourself when you feel lonely, do you simply wish to find a good quality friend or are you afraid about what friendship or other includes. It can be a fine line at times however it's important to identify what you wish to isolate yourself before you end up unable to immerse yourself with people again.

Being alone and being lonely are two different things. While it is completely alright to spend time with yourself, it is not okay if this is not what you want. Figure out why you're isolating yourself and if anything you're afraid of. Then try to face your fear, talk to someone if needed. May be start with a listener or a therapist who can guide you through the next steps.

Isolation is very tempting sometimes, because we feel like we need to be away from people. But, it’s this time where it is best to seek out friends and family to talk about what you are feeling. Loneliness is a terrible thing, but it can be very easily cured. Just as you love people, you are loved in return. You are never alone in this world, even though you may feel like it. Think about times where you feel lonely. Does any kind of situation or person trigger the feeling? If you feel lonely chronically, you might be struggling with depression. Seek out a professional therapist, or find depression threads on 7cups.

Talking to someone you trust about how you are feeling will be a very good step to start at. This could be a family member or a close friend or even a teacher at school. Try to join in on events such as family, parties or even days out. Allow time for yourself, this will be a good time to write down what you are feeling and a way to calm your mind, if needed after you have written things down go and talk to the trusted person about it, they may be able to talk to someone else about it (with your consent) and come up with a weekly plan on when you wish to have time to talk, time for yourself and time to join in.

Loneliness is a strange beast: it devour us, but we develop a sort of codependency. The more we feel lonely, the more we do to keep on feeling lonely. It seems a nonsense, but it happens. Loneliness is feeded by isolation and isolation is feeded by loneliness. The best you can do about it is to plan some tasks everyday for two weeks. The tasks shouldn't be overwhelming, otherwise you'll feel completely drained. A task could be "ask two people how their day is going" or "get in touch with one friend and enjoy a coffee together". There are minor patterns you have to break: isolation tends to embrace procrastination. Setting little tasks is going to be challenging enough without becoming frustrating. Odds are, as the time comes, you'll feel anxiety rising up. There are only two rules. Rule number 1: stick to the plan, unless it's not your fault. Don't make up excuses no to go out two hours before meeting your friend. Rule number 2: these tasks must be done in real life. Keep it simple and enjoy vulnerability. The world is missing you!

You should try easing yourself into a positive friend group. They can care for you and make you feel loved. Another hard but important thing is to not push away your loved ones. They try to care for you and they will help you through this period of time that you are feeling. If you really don't feel like interaction, reading an exciting novel will loosen your heart and make you happy. You can also watch a film or do something that you enjoy. Take up a new hobby or write a short story. Remember, there are people out there who genuinely want to help you.

I feel like this sometimes, too. You want to be alone, but you don't want to be alone. Like there is no solution to this problem. Some ways you can start getting involved are: Online book clubs, such as some on Goodreads. Join a club at school, or the bare minimum, creating a group chat on your phone with a few close friends. You can set up accounts on Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, etc., and make it about your fandom fanpage. And trust me, you can meet amazing people. If you are at School/Work, then make an effort to talk to at least one person a day. Ask your friends if they are doing anything this weekend. Sometimes, I feel this way when my family ties are loose. Try to patch those up if those bonds are that way. Love you and love yourself
