How do I deal with the pain of being alone?

13 comments

1. That’s the fun part, you don’t

2. I’m an introvert so thats my shit

3. Find a routine that works for you, fill up days with stuff, hobbies, bathe, go for a walk, eat, read lots, grow a plant, invest in yourself and work on what keeps people away.

4. Hobbies!

5. Reach out to people. If you wait for everyone to come to you you will be waiting & mentally stewing. Get out of your home / apartment and do things with others.

6. Wtf is wrong with you. Pain of being alone? Enjoy it!

7. Learn to love yourself.

8. >_pain of being alone?_

   Some first-world problems right here. My recommendation is to change perspective; lonliness is a state of mind, not a state of being.

   **Volunteer** and live in service to someone else. See how others who have less do.

9. I just think of killing myself every time

10. Love it. Was in a horrible toxic marriage. Men get abused too. Being alone is the best thing ever.

11. Hobbies that involve other people. That could be sports, or taking classes, or whatever.

12. Books. That’s what I did, I just read book after book. Fictional characters are awesome friends lol
