Answer 3

Stop thinking that you are feeling lonely, it just promotes a vicious circle. Find something that interests you, don't be afraid of attempting something that other might think is 'uncool'. After if you are already feeling lonely, where's the harm?
Also try and talk to people more freely, whether it is existing friends and family of new people, once you come out of your shell you will feel a lot better. You also shouldn't bottle up any feelings you have, try and confide in someone you trust, or if you can't, do push your issues to the back of your mind in the hope they'll go away- they won't.

whenever I have felt so I remind myself that God is there with me.We are never really lonely. God is always loving us and helping us in some way or the other.Only that sometimes we cant realise this.Each person has to complete his journey alone ie the people we meet are there with us for sometime and then they go away-each on his own way.This is a fact so why grieve? Then I never feel lonely ie after thinkung this.This is the only way to overcome your sense of loneliness.
Dont forget that no one can stay with us forever except God and he is always there with us showering his infinite love under all conditions.God is best and there is none like God who needs others when they know that God is there?
Read Bhagwat Gita. If you acknowledge the above said things whole heartedly you will never ever feel lonely.
This is not just your problem but problem of milions of people and this sadness is only a result of delusion.

Online games, chatrooms, and myspace are great ways to keep in human contact if thats not an, or not desirable option for you. Otherwise, taking a class at a local college (usually about $200-700 for about 4 months) can get you into some excellent human contact also.

Answer 7

feeling lonely sometimes gives you the feelings of being unsatisfied with your life and sometimes you will feel emptiness in you life. take up activities, go out with friends, do things that pleases you. sky is the limit so spread your wings and aim high.
i had the feeling of emptiness and unsatisfaction and i found myself lost. this was due a tragic event that took place. i started playing soccer, i do kickboxing, karate, busy my self with family and friends when they all have time. and i set high goals, and work towards to goals knowing that i won't be able to achieve all of them.
so what's stopping you? look at the open sky, find your desires, spread your wings and go for it.

Answer 8

You should relish this situation. We unnecessarily waste our precious time in searching friends etc. for mere gossipping. It is a criminal waste of our time, so far as our soul is concerned. You are in an enviable situation where you can make the most of it. You should feel in your loneliness the omnipresence of God ( in my case Krishn ). Feel yourself a soul, who does not need any material support, but only unison with the lord. So God ( in my case, Krishn ) becomes the mate.

Answer 9

Invest youself in spiritual matters (spiritual not religious), that is, if it interests you. If you are not into it, why dont you find someone who is good at heart (not just looks) to share your life with. Or, you can even hang out with good friends. Or, you can even devote yourself at some charitable institution. Nothing beats the inner elation of helping someone who is in need (not financial contributions, but i mean physical). Look around, there are so much things to do.

Answer 10

Call a friend and go out for the night. Find more friends on line and meet up and play cards, etc. Join a group that will allow you to meet new people and keep yourself involved.
