How do you cope with your loneliness ?

@Spectra "He spent a lot of time alone in the woods." 🙈

@Fungirlmmm indeed pets make great friends

@Shadyglow It feels to you like that because you can't get satisfaction & happiness from the things you already have in your life. Someone else may have the things you feel anyone would need to feel complete, but they still feel incomplete for some other reason and have the feeling of loneliness.

You might remember when you were kid and you lost one of your tooth. Where did your attention and tongue used to go? to the missing tooth.. When the same you at that time was playing did you felt that missing tooth? No because you were happy and satisfied what you were doing. So it's about feeling contended & satisfied with what you already have.

I am not saying you should not have things you feel you are missing in your life. But you should try to enjoy whatever you have at present moment. Life is a journey, people come and go in our lives, like co passengers in a long train journey.

@Foodie60 i mean a long time friend who I know understands my situation. A close friend.

@GunFinger I see

@GunFinger That is the ANTIDOTE to loneliness. Would that we all had that.

@robertsnj thank you . This is very encouraging. I will talk

@Foodie60 wait no. that wasn't an answer it is a question. Pretty please, why are you lonely and why do you feel it is difficult to meet others?

@TheLurkinGherkin Don't get too pickled there...

@Shadyglow us lonely people need to stick together

@chasingThursday we lonely people don't know who to call (who will answer) and our phone never rings. There's a lot of mistrust among this crowd..u can understand why...
And non lonely people think we are losers so they will never call...

@Shadyglow this is true
