I'm an introvert, big time, so this has been an issue for me.
I have joined clubs where there is something in common that we all can talk about. I was in an aquarium society, so we all talked about fish, but there are ham radio, quilting, archery, fishing & hunting clubs, and also there is bowling leagues and softball and basketball leagues. Now I live in a rural area and there isn't a lot of that, so I joined a social club for people with mental illness.
Also, a cat or a dog to come home to is really nice. Don't underrate it! If you have a place where you can have one. Fish are pretty good too (here comes the aquarium club stuff!!) Oscar fish are really more like pets for people. I never had one, but when I worked at a fish store, I could see people were really attached to them. Most fish really like to see you when you come home because they want to be fed!
Good luck! Don't let the Internet and TV substitute for real people. You have to get out there and circulate.

Hi,
I have no family.. and after 5 years together.. my girlfriend walked out on me..
I know what it's like to be lonely.. for me.. there has not been anyone to really talk to for a long time.. especially those personal things that fill your mind but you can never share with people you are not very close to..
I was depressed and suicidal for nearly 10 years.. and now I own two businesses and am doing a lot better..
I stayed off drugs.. I never drink.. this is important if you are down and lonley as it will only make you more isolated.. do not make the mistake my friend..
Start working out a lot.. daily.. every spare minute.. drop and do some pushups.. even if its only two of five.. its all positive energy for you.. and you will need a tonne of positive energy to get out there on your own..
YOU NEED TO GET OUT THE DOOR!!
Eat well too.. look after yourself and do things to boost you as a human being.. like work for a charity one day a week.. or start some new study.. something positive that will make you feel good about being YOU.
with a bit of patience and time.. you will find yourself with a tonne of new frineds.. and will be out having a great time.. its not hard.. it really isnt.. and it is all in your own mind.. you can change yourself any time you wish.. its all upto you my friend.
Importantly.. try doing things you would never have considered doing.. you will be surprised how empowering it will be for you.. to go to an Opera if you were always too scared to go alone.. just go.. or whatever it may be.. dont hold back any more.. you're getting older and when you are old you will regret your life if you waste it alone..
All the best..

"Therapy"=Bernie Zilbergeld P.h. D. explains in his book that there is no scientific evidence indicating that psychiatry does what it is suppossed to do. People can be successful in alleviating mental issues for several reasons that you can find outside of a psychotherapy office. You can get the medicine you need in an art club, from a martial arts instructor, exercise, or some other activity or social group.
You need self-confidence, a purpose(goals and direction), and I also recommend sex. Healthy sex has excellent benefits and its wise to extract positive energy from females for your own well-being. There are two free dating web-sites that I know of: "plentyoffish.com" and "tarzanmeetjane.com".
Exercise, Eat Healthy, Join a club or social group, Get Pu$$y, Find Self-confidence, Find a purpose and direction, and stop listening to depressing music! Also: Examine your "friends". Exclude people from your daily life that make you feel bad about yourself. If they arent good friends that make you feel good about yourself, don't be afraid to shun them and exclude them from your life; don't feel like you've got to babysit those chumps.

Make friends.
Learn to love yourself.
See a therapist for help.

You don't. You embrace it. You make love to it. You take it out to dinner and a movie. Then you dump it and get yourself a hobby.

its nothing to fight because you are never alone. God is always there and just think that when u are feeling low.
