does anyone else get lonely, when they walk, alone? i can sit, alone, and be fine, but not walk. anyone?

Question

it prevents me from getting exercise. i get really lonely and depressed.

the y costs too much, even with a scholarship.

i don't believe in listening to music, while walking (it's unsafe, it's rude, my music players haven't entered into the 21st c.), nor owning pets (as one might own slaves).

even with a goal i can't face it. i can't go to the grocery store, six blocks away. i'm not hypoglycemic, i don't know about the rest.

Answer 1

Many people get lonely with or without someone. You can walk within your house. You can put your favorite music on in the house. Music is to soul or spirit of man like a bandaid is to a cut. Inside the home you can walk, you can dance you can move how ever you want. As you feel more comfortable about walking/exercise, then you can walkaround the house, then walk one block builing up to six blocks. It doesn't matter how long it takes, just that you make it.

Answer 2

I have to have a goal when walking. At lunch at work, I can walk to the mall - to get a lottery ticket, or to the store - to get a low carb snack. It is hard for me to walk alone - without a reason.

I do have a radio that I plug in my ear and listen to while I walk, sometimes. I don't know if that would work for you.

However, if you get depressed (not just "blue"), you may want to check out www.hufa.org, as it has some ideas as to what may be the cause of that.

Answer 3

unfortunally a lot of ppl get lonely even when they are with someone they are still lonely inside why dont you go to your local ymca and do your exercises there you may find a friend you can go jogging with go for walks or bike riding if you have a bike

Answer 4

Try maybe listening to music while you walk. You could try Oleander's "I walk alone". Or get a dog that way you have someone to keep you company.

Answer 5
