When my situation is deserted, I need someone to accompany me. But I think it is not easy for me to find someone to accompany me. It is easier for me to make a call for someone and have a vent with than inviting someone to accompany me. How about you friends? How do you deal with your loneliness?

I really hate being lonely. I hate it especially if everyone else is busy. What I do when I am lonely is try to do something fun like play some games or something. Just something to take things off my mind.

Yes, I agree with you. I also hate lonely. Sometimes I got sad when there is nobody can accompany me. Playing games must be fun. I also used to playing games on my pc when I have good mood for playing games. Thanks.

But sometimes not even the games can help. But then the type of games I play are usually multi-player. I grab a microphone and I would be talking to other players. But then there are many times when other players don't have a microphone and then it feels as if I am talking to myself; back to being lonely again.

I actually prefer to be lonely, that's mainly because I have been in abusive relationships in my past, I don't see it as being lonely, I see it as being independent, not needing anyone else, having my freedom, to do what I want, when I want, and how I want. I love being single and I wouldn't have it any other way. Sometimes it's best to be alone than in bad company.

Yes, I appreciate your commitment to prefer being alone. Somehow, later you would willing to have someone to accompany you. There is moment that we have to be alone, but being alone forever is not a good decision. I hope you can understand this. God bless.

I am always in the best company... My own. I love spending time by myself. i am not lonely. I look at it this way... If I can't stand being alone, then how can I ever be good company to somone else. Yes there are time I want to be with others and hang out and talk, but I am never lonely

Well, just do it if you feel better by being alone but you are not feeling lonely. Good if you were never lonely.

I don't feel like talking to anyone when i am feeling lonely. I will just want to sleep off, i will cry a bit and then listen some music. Don't eat anything and just tie my eyes and sleep off in the dark. It is the time when i am the most irritated so i don't find peace in talking to anyone, and if i do everyone will give me their expert comments which i don't need, so it becomes more outrageous for me.

When I feel lonely I just want to be in my room and pray. Afterwards, I sleep. Then after that I do my stuffs again my loneliness is gone anymore. I think it's the power of prayer that comfort my loneliness at times.

When loneliness strikes, I deal with it by keeping myself busy with work, with my dogs, internet, tv series marathon and few good friends, relatives and church mates.

I don't feel the need to be with someone so I would not invite or call anyone. I like to be alone, also when I am in pain or feel miserable or perhaps lonely (which didn't happen for a long long time). I know how to keep myself busy, have plenty of things to do and like my own company as well. I am also learning not to keep myself busy each minute of the day, so more relaxing time, which I need.

I do something I enjoy to cope with loneliness. I can always go to mylot and express my frustrations here. Plus I earn, that gives me additional comfort. I go out with friends who are free and enjoy my time with them, spend time with people I love, go shopping if I have money, eat something delicious, watch a funny movie. it's been a long time that I felt lonely. i am preoccupied with a lot of things lately, so I'm glad to say that I don't feel lonely.

I sometimes like to be alone. It's good for meditating and doing stuff that you usually do alone, like reading a book or have a relaxing day (or a beauty day for girls). But if I really feel lonely AND bored, I usually call up a friend or go to the theatre or the cinema. Those can make me take away my attention from what I'm feeling.

I am committed to a long distance relationship. Loniness is always present. Whenever I feel it, I make sure I do email him everyday, telling him to call me or have skype with me. By all means of communication, it can help me fight with my loneliness. I just love him and missed him everyday.

When I am drenched with loneliness, I usually listen to music or even play my favorite tune on keyboard so that It will eventually perk me up. I also like talking to friends or even talking to random people online so that it will get rid of the loneliness that I am experiencing.

Learn to be happy with yourself. When you like/love who you are, it shows. People like to be around those who are upbeat and confident. Learn to enjoy solitary activities. If you are already having a good time, that attracts people who want to join in and get happy too. It never fails - when you want solitude, people will start coming up to talk to you.

Feeling of loneliness is a little bitter i say for somebody,but not for all those persons really utilizes their chance of getting free time with piece of mind.... When ever i get time to have loneliness, really i usually make use of it very well. At that time my mind works very sharply.... Actually everyday each person should capture a lonely situation at any cost for growing internal health....
