distraction is the best medicine. Find something to do, anthing, just dont sit around thinking about it. Over time start researching activities that involve groups and get active in something, anything. If your so regressed that you can not think of anything that interest you then a trip to the libary is needed. Spend some time looking through all kinds of subjects, the magizines, bulletin boards, etc. soon something will pop out at you and you found something to be interested in. Hopefully it involves interaction with more people, good luck, I am just trying to stimulate options,,,

People differ on the level of interpersonal interaction they require. Some people just don't feel the need for others. Relationships are just people entering into a contract in which each person gives something and each person gets something. There is nothing necessarily wrong with not have a large social network. It only becomes a problem when it starts to negatively effect you. The exact reason you do not feel alone is not something that anyone (but you maybe) can answer. It is likely a result of experiences you have had which have led you to become comfortable with not having other people on whom you could rely.

Hello Roswell.... always make new friends. Sometimes the old ones become something else and they are not the good friends they were before. I think it is so good that you are writing to us on the yahoo answers, this way you will meet knew people and realize that what you are not alone and they are other people going through similar situations.

Get yourself a Puppy, they can be the best friend you have never had. Dogs are so much better than humans. Seriously. Also, I recommend joining a Gym. Lots of people meet each other at the Gym and plus exercising is good for you and will release some endorphins. Good Luck.

Try volunteering with your local community;homeless shelters, hospitals..etc. Also church is a very easy place to meet people and of course get your spirit on. Most importantly dont stay down in the dumps about it...do something to better your situation.

I would go online, join myspace or face book or whatever. It's strange..I'm a social person but I find that I don't need to go out as much because I interact with my friends online or meet new people.
I know it's not the most healthy of lifestyles. I still go out and surf and exercise, but I enjoy my time alone reading, playing games online with people or meeting new people online.
It might make you more confident so that you can go out and meet more people.

make friends online and talk to your cat, therapist, just meet people outside and form interests then you can have friends, but yes like my mother says to me, it takes time to develop friends. try and see if there are people in your school you can talk to or you can talk to your cousins or old friends. I'm sure you have some.

You're only alone if you think you are. Feeling lonely is a choice you're making, and once you realize that you can make other choices.
When I am alone, I enjoy it - I don't have to answer to anyone, I can do what I want (I can even have popcorn for dinner in my underwear if I want to), and I can recharge my batteries without someone around me draining them again.
If you are religious, a little prayer for strength and to feel His love for you will do wonders.
