Thread: Battling Loneliness

I know how you feel, after my yr 12 formal, i don't see any of my friends much anymore. there all busy, with work, tafe or somthing else so i don't see them much. I deal with it by doing somthing fun or go for a walk somewhere to burn up time.

Loneliness can b tough ta handle at times, I should know, I've been lonely nearly all of my life. One way of battlin' the loneliness, that works for me anyway, is findin' a hobby; somethin' that helps keep me preoccupied ta help pass the time. I don' have many friends myself, so hobbies help. Try paintin', that could b one way of keepin' urself preoccupied and it'll allow u ta get out any emotions that r inside u that u need ta get out; negative or otherwise. But that's jus' one of many hobbies u could choose.

Well once i was lonely because i was super depressed and it seemed like verybody as mad at me and i was sad and just like kill me but im mostly not lonely but i know how you fell some advice i can give you is go out and talk to some people and if you are to scared to then try to meet a friend on the internet and because your boyfriend is in college then you might try to just get a new boyfriend .

Hobbies and friends helps alot. Just go out and meet as may people as you can or either chat with as many as you can on the net. Eitherway it will distract you and also help you as well. Plus if you talk to alot of people and make alot of friends then they can help you out when you need it. Each person that you talk to will give you a different answer to the same question. So it's really nice to have alot of friends. But whatever way you chose I wish you the best of luck with it.

Well another idea would to be set a friend post up here on animeonline.net and ask people who wants to be your friend because if you want a friend im here for you k (^-^).

Shoot..I consider loneliness the sister that I never had..
i cannot count the times were I realized that I am all alone...and I know exactly why and I do not blame it on anyone..while my other friends go out partying and having fun...I have the responsibility of preparing my homework and studying for tests...because I take college very seriously.....and want to have a future ahead of me....and sometimes I actually like being alone and just thinking by myself and it brings me some sort of peacefulness in my troubled life.....and since my life is so busy with sports and schools and tournaments......I do not even realize how lonely I am until my friends ask me "I have not seen you i like three weeks....where ahve you been?".....

Yeah I have alot of depression issues and am on medication for it but as anyone with common sense knows, medicine can't fix everything. I mean the medication helps but sometimes I just can't help wonder why me, and I have no clue why I get so depressed sometimes...I have a great life depsite money problems in the family and absense of friends, I just wish I could think like everyone else thinks sometimes. Then after I think that I realize how stupid it was to want to be like everyone else. I suppose i am just a really complicated person and I have a really odd way of thinking that is hard to describe in words, the only way for me to really show you would be if you were me and we all know that is impossible lol.

Thanks for all the comments so far, there was some really helpful advice ^-^
