Feeling Lonely?



Loneliness is a feeling inside of you that you don’t know what to do about it. It seems that you can do something to get rid of it, but somehow you have a hard time to stir up the interest of doing that. The difference between being alone and feeling lonely is that you are not content with your own company, and thus, you want someone to be with.

You see friends hanging out, you see married couple with kids, you see dating lovers, and you see family spending time together. At least two people together that you see, you realize that they remind you of your loneliness. With this kind of sight, you think that even going out to some places to get rid of your loneliness, still it is not easy to do. On the other hand, staying at home doing nothing and feeling lonely is even worse because it’s not going to be just loneliness but also boredom.

Loneliness is a phase that everyone goes through whether you are single or married, young or old. You just have to know how to adjust your mood. The good news is feeling lonely is temporary. Once you find something interesting to do, rather than observing other people in pairs, you will realize that the lonely feeling is shifted away immediately. When I say interesting thing to do, I meant thing that makes you really into doing it. Thing that is interesting enough to get your mind off feeling lonely and sorry for yourself. Meanwhile, I also understand that sometime we tend to have a hard time finding an interesting thing to do when we feel lonely. It is just how the nature of life works. When we are looking for something to do, we hardly find one, but when we are not, we get busy easily. The gist of it is, face your lonely moments and do something about it. Call up a friend, invite a friend over or go over to that friend’s place, find some chores around the house to work on, clean the bathroom, do laundry, decorate the room(s), be creative, etc. the time will go by fast, and your loneliness is automatically gone by itself.

    "It's ironic how loneliness could still find us, even in a crowded room..."

    RONeiluke, RN: exactly, that is what the difference between being alone and being lonely. Solitude vs. Loneliness. If you cannot be happy within yourself and enjoy your own company, although you will be in love or have many friends, you still feel lonely.
