Do you Feel Lonely?
What can happen when you feel lonely? You can get into a vulnerable state of mind and be manipulated by others. You can be pulled into a cult with people lavishing love and community toward you and you don’t notice the red flags. You can fall into depression. You might blame others for not paying attention to you. You can get paranoid. There are so many paths that pull you in if you are lonely.
If you feel lonely, get up and find an exercise class, yoga, art class, church, music class, school class, or anything that you are interested in. You can talk to the other people in the class and make new friends – just put yourself out and if one doesn’t seem to want to be friends, another will and there is NO shame in trying. Even if you are shy – just put yourself out there and be proud of your effort! See if someone wants to meet for coffee or go to lunch. Sometimes the person will start to include you in their group. Just make an effort.
I grew up shy and always had a handful of friends – I just did not think about my shyness (until it meant I had to get in front of the class). I later learned to get assertive (and aggressive if need be). And people respected me – so my friend list grew and grew. Just talk to people – it may take a few times before you feel a kinship but do not give up!
Sometimes you can pose a question to someone and start a conversation. Eventually you can message or call the person for more discussions.
If you see someone sitting down or walking, ask if you can sit there or walk with the person (though to walk with someone make sure the person if familiar to you so no stranger targets you). I made a lot of friends just sitting with them watching our kids in a class or practicing or competing. Some were even famous (which I didn’t know at the time!).
Don’t tend to just blindly trust all strangers – take time to get to know someone and see if others in the class or wherever know anything about them in case the person isn’t safe. I have a good radar to know when someone is worth my trust or if I should stay away – but not everyone can tell, so work toward that skill.
Exercise is important to help your brain release good endorphins to help your lonely mood. There are other ways to boost endorphins, including most anything you find pleasure in. So, think of what makes you happy and see how you can boost your mood up.
Don’t wallow in loneliness but try to take an action against it. Do yourself a favor and find people to hang out with.
