how do you deal with loneliness

i admit, i get lonely...i have lived alone since 2005, i have had mental struggles and never established new relationships, i lost contact with friends from school long ago...now i'm by myself apart from my parents who are now elderly and they live far from me.....nights can be the most difficult, it seems to amplify the loneliness i feel.

i have social anxiety and paranoia, so getting out to be around people is a great challenge...i'm now mid 40s, what can i do?

I really dont have a hood advice, I have anxiety as well but not like you, what works for me is a distraction, sport, hobie, reading, anything to get concentrated, it works for me, but it is worth if shoot

People in general are pricks. Yeah we all think we want friends but then you find out how screwed up they really are and it is like "Okay, this isn;t working out, time to go back to solitude."

@CestManan Hehe, likely. I hope when they are old enough, they use the same tact with you.

@SW-User Never mind me, I am just in a mood.

@CestManan You are fine with me. I don't need us to agree. I hope you get that mood out of your system.
