I don't get lonely very often. There have been times in my life where I wanted to connect more with people offline and I have volunteered places which gave me a feeling of content. I used to read to an old grandma lady who was in an old folks home. She was blind and so she really enjoyed when I visited. I guess finding someone else who might be lonely too is a good way to cure loneliness. There is also community groups that meet up as well as spiritual groups.

One thing I'm wondering is if anyone else seems to get more lonely at certain times of the day. I, for example, often get really lonely when I'm going to sleep because I long for some form of physical contact.

Me too I like my own company but do still feel lonely & tend to eat.
I have a really hard time in groups of people.
I like being at home watching tv and on the net.
Hope youre easter is a happy one. Mine is so alone.

Over the last few months, I have experienced huge feelings of loneliness. I have just come out of a 10 year relationship (including marriage) - my wife split with me, I moved out and she moved another man in. The feelings of loneliness have been horrendous. To get through those times, I have been surrounding myself with friends, taking up new challenges and making sure my mind is busy - whether it be through learning something new or working.

It hurts the most are when I am on my own or when I am walking around and see other happy couples together. But going out with friends, meeting new people and keeping yourself occupied are great ways of combatting it.
