Well I have a kitten for one thing, she's great company.

But other than that I just chat here on MAL occasionally, or on PSN.

Haven't had IRL friends since my teenage years because my childhood was nomadic avoiding care orders wrongly put out for me. I also didn't attend School for long either, so didn't make many friends there. It doesn't bother me much though, I live a few streets away from my grownup niece & nephew, which is cool, I go feed their cats for them when they go away. My Sis visits me every week or two, but even that makes me feel awkward sometimes, as I don't do much in my life compared to her. I do enjoy my own company though, and im very used to it.

OP, keep yourself busy, with anything you can think of, hustle it and it will go away.

For my part I have way too many things on my life to be feeling lonely, kids, husband, friends, work, house, dogs. And one day op you'll also be so busy that you will not have the time or energy to feel lonely.

Me every time I hear the word "reparations": 🤣🤣🤣

I keep a couple people in my basement. If you don't have a basement you might consider chaining them to a radiator or storing them in your freezer.

"The idle mind is the devil's playground", as the old saying goes. I treat loneliness the same, I just get busy.

If it's that bad, then talk to a few people. But life goes on

I do like my solitude.

I would call myself an "extroverted introvert." Meaning, I can easily hold conversations and I don't feel stressed over having them, but I do get a bit too socially exhausted and need some time for myself to recharge those "social batteries."

But of course even I can feel lonely at times, which I have been now. So I decided to check out MAL that I've been a 'member' of for some time but have never truly dived into.

As of how I deal with the loneliness otherwise? I usually go training, or some physical activity. Browsing funny stuff sometimes help too, like funny videos, or interesting videos, etc. Sometimes practicing art helps me focus on that instead of the feeling of being lonely.

It's a lot about distracting yourself, really.

I just watch anime, read manga and come onto the MAL forums. I guess I'm kind of an introvert and extrovert so I enjoy being in my solitude more than with people but I can still talk with others easily. But I guess I've just learned to cope with loneliness.

I'm never lonely because I live with my man and my cats, but I am incredibly scared of losing any of them. Everyday I fear about their health for no reason. It's exhausting.

I always lonely. It's my own fault and my parents to certain. I never had time to make friends, Always moving housing states and towns. I mostly hop online watch movies, read, drink beer, vape. Used play video games but they make me feel worst unless the story is really good.

For me, it's to make a journal/diary for the future me to look at. The idea that you can see your past self express sadness, anger, hatred may unfortunate, but at the same time, they can still express happiness, like when they've beaten a hard game, read a really fun light novel, wonder about the world of fiction, have a new favorite anime, found a new artist that also makes them really happy, talk about events they've experienced(like what I'm gonna do after MALoween), meet new people, and many more stuff. Well sure, at the start, your journal/diary is so small that it doesn't feel like anything, but over large amounts of time, it just magically becomes a goldmine of memories. Heh, even the journal/diary entries I've made with a lot of boredom in the past look like diamonds to the current me. So, feel free to make one and go express everything you wanna express. Even your negative emotions. Lol. Might be a cool thing.
Neat.
Also neat.
And another.
+ another one.
And another one.
Then have one more.
Actually, have two more.

Y'know, oftentimes it's the feeling of stagnation and worthlessness that makes loneliness so much worse than it has to be. Sometimes there isn't immediately a relationship that makes itself available, but I find it helps to find little ways to remind yourself you aren't worthless. Do a small chore, do some push-ups, or start a schedule. It's not a solution to loneliness, but it will make the period of waiting bearable.

It should be noted that I have not seen too many depressing anime, hence my optimism.

Hi everybody,
I want to introduce myself. Growing up I had a lot of family around me. I always thought they would be there for my life. My father never really mattered in my life but I always wanted him around. My mother abandoned me at 16. I usually have no one to even tell my good news to. When I graduated from high-school or when I got my assistant degree nobody showed up or even messaged congratulations. My family treaded me like the black sheep and slow pushed me away. I even got third and state for wrestling, fifth place in state for track & field (200 meter dash) , my team even one state for football. Zero family support. Now a days it's getting hard to cope. I recently had my second son. Neither my mother nor father got to meet either of my beautiful baby boys. I ended up finding a guy that literally help put a smile on my face. Our conversation was meaningful and heart felt. Like he really understands me. This is his contact

If any one has anything that they bought recently or something else that really help you feel good at the moment please drop a comment to the link. Mental health is so important especially when your raise children. Anything would help thank for your time. Please keep your head up. STAY BLESSED 🙌

Real loneliness is not necessarily limited to when you are alone.
there is a loneliness in this world so great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock.
the history of melancholia includes all of us.
