Answer 1

You need to find what you like and just get out there. even grab a book and sit at the cafe of a Barnes and nobles. Also, www.meetup.com has groups of people with similar interests in your area.


Good luck to you. I hope you find happiness.

Answer 2

I don't know what your relationship is with your parents. If you can, try writing a letter to your mother/ father and let them know how you feel. Loneliness is not a thing that others can overcome for you. Even if someone has many friends, but still deep inside, the person still feel very much alone. Loneliness really come from within the person.
Right now, try to do something that you enjoy. Try to go swimming, jogging. Exercise will help you to feel so much better. I don't know how old you are. Maybe you can join some classes ( dancing, swimming, art, karate, music, etc.). Ask your parents. If you don't have anything to do at home, then try to develop a habit of reading. Go to the library. The library has many different kinds of books (comics, mystery, detective,fairy tales,etc). Reading will help get your mind of your feeling of loneliness.

Answer 3

Figure out what you like doing.

Sport - perhaps join a tennis club?
Walking - perhaps join a walking club?
Photography - perhaps join a photography club?
You can see where I am going with this!

Well done on asking the question about what you should do. The next and most important step is to go and do it.

You will make friends when you engage in activities with people where you have a common interest.

I know because I have done exactly that in the past and enjoy a busy social life.

Good luck.

You have to wake up and smell the roses, if you don't' do something for yourself nobody will! You have to get out of that depression and start living life! Get out of your house and meet people, I know is hard at first but, even just going to a books store or Starbucks talk to someone about the latest book, ask someone a question and start a conversation. Take a dance class if you like to dance, and meet people, the next thing they will be inviting you to parties, then you meet more people. You have to put yourself out there and develop your personality, you are not going to get notice or make friends sitting at home. you have to believe that you are a good girl and people want to make friends with you, then you will feel much better. I know you can do it, don't be shy, you cant wait for friends to come to you, you need to to go out and make them! Good Luck.

Hi Rose

How old are you honey?? Do you live in a town or are you out in the country?.....its hard to answer the question but I'll give it a go...have u thought about joining the venture scouts or doing the Duke of Edinborough award.....things like that where you will meet people your age and then can socialise after......I joined things like that because Like you I didn't have many friends.....when I did join different things I had a whale of a time going to parties away on weekends and holidays....my life changed for the better.......yours can to but you have to get out there and try a few things.....good luck!!!

Answer 6

You need something to do with your spare time, an interest that you have to go out for. Think of something that you would like to get involved in and find a club or interest group that meets regularly, it will get you out and help you to meet people. If you don't like the first one you try go to another, until you find one that suits you.
It may be hard to get started but you will find it easier as time goes by.
Good luck.

Answer 8

Thank you for sharing, I think it was brave of you. Maybe it would help if you could involve in some activities like sports, evening classes, activity groups, things like that. That way you can get to meet new people and keep your mind and body active. You could go to a church and get someone to pray for you. I'll certainly pray for you. I wish you all the best xxx
