I feel like isolating myself, but deep inside I am very lonely. What do I do?

Begin by understanding what the isolation is all about - what's at the heart of it - why you feel lonely. You can be alone without feeling lonely; you can be surrounded by people who genuinely love and care for you, and still feel lonely. So, loneliness is not a matter of circumstances or situations, though these can be triggers.

Get busy Keeping yourself busy is a really effective way of dealing with loneliness. If you’re in a situation where you’re bored or can’t find a job, volunteer with something you care about or think you might be interested in. Feeling needed and useful is really important sometimes. Know you’re not alone

Relax, take it easy. I think a lot of people have felt like just blocking themselves from the world and isolating themselves at one point or another. Don't blame yourself for feeling this way, instead try to understand yourself better and find out what makes you feel this way. You could try talking to a close friend or family member about this, or even talk to a therapist if you don't feel comfortable with talking to a person you know.

Why don't you try just taking a walk. One day maybe walk to the end of your street, and the next to the park. Slowly integrate yourself out of your comfort zone. When you feel ready, just ask someone for the time. Slowly you will see how you are able to talk to strangers more easier. Also, you could try and join a group or a club, that shares a common interest like you.

I was going through this phase once. It is the feeling of being hollow from inside. You just feel like there is noone who cares about you.You have noone to talk to. But trust me, people are out there to help you. People who want to see you happy. These can be your loved ones or sometimes complete strangers. The thing is to realise that we are after all a social animal and don't want to die alone. We always want someone by our side, whether we accept it or not. It is better to tell someone how you are feeling and you will get better day by day, just like me.

Have some people let your expectations down? Isolating yourself isn't usually the best solution. Try to be positive, and maybe find some new people to talk with?

Try to go out and socialise with others doing something you've never done before can be rewarding within itself.

Try to engage yourself in activities that include relating to others, basing on the things you love the most. For example, if you like music, you can try entering a band. If you like art, some course where you have to relate to other students. There are a lot of activities that in some way force you to create relationships, but in the end they can be very helpful for you.

Well do not isolate your self it will get worse chances are they must be someone family friends they will talk

Are you happy with your own company? First you should learn to be content with yourself. Once you learn to do this, to lessen the loneliness you should probably try to talk to people and make a few friends. You don't always have to be around them - try to find a balance of alone time and spending time with others.
