Hi dear,
at some points in our life, we may feel lonely, all alone, left alone with no friends, no one to talk to, when in fact, we maybe have someone to talk to. But they're just unavailable at the moment and we feel somehow lonely

And that's what i'm feeling right now. I really want to reach out for my friends, but something is blocking me... I don't know, looking through my chat lists... it's just my heart is hoping for two specific persons to be here for me, when I know they won't be.

So what do you usually do when you're feeling lonely?

I'm sorry I don't really have anything to offer with regard to this. I'm just a reclusive old troll. However, here are links to some articles, from PsychCentral's archives, on the subject of loneliness. Perhaps some of the information in these articles can be of some help:

I wish you well...

I try to find patterns in the forums. I read many different ones. It is a diversion. But really i don't get lonely often.

I feel the same sometimes, I don't have very many people to talk to but sometimes really need to talk. I made a couple new buddies a couple weeks ago and one offered to listen, but I've had people say that before and then get tired of me so it makes me not want to bother risking it because I don't want to lose anyone else. The one "good" friend (good meaning he has been around for a long time) I have isn't very good at just letting me vent, he's a fixer, but sometimes I don't need someone pointing out things and just let me vent.

As for what I do when I feel lonely, I either get overtaken by the sadness and lay in bed all day or I distract myself with things like video games, streams, or catching up on some of my favorite shows. Sometimes though if I can't distract myself I end up bugging people and sometimes it works out ok, sometimes it doesn't.
