The first thing to do is to ask yourself "why am I lonely"? The second thing I would suggest is to make yourself the best person you can be. Give yourself a physical and spiritual make over. Hair, maybe a new outfit etc. You need to feel good about yourself to attract new friends. Are you depressed? If so..get professional help. When you are happy with yourself, think about what you like to do the most...hobbies, sports. travel.. Look for organizations or clubs where you will meet new people with similar interests. Churches can be a great place to meet new people. When you venture out...put a big smile on your face. Learn to be a good listener....Most people love to talk, few have learned the art of truly listening. My Mother always said "God gave us one mouth and two ears for a reason."
Being lonely is so difficult. Been there...got the T-Shirt! I pray you will find the courage to push yourself to get out and change your situation. Good luck and God Bless, C

I just got off the phone with my 23 year old son who is coping with loneliness, living alone, first job out of college, just working all the time, far away from family and friends.
I told him that he needed to "take charge of his own happiness"! He and YOU both have to make a plan. Just like a business plan! Make a list of what you are going to do daily to eliminate loneliness.
Decide what you LIKE to do......whether it is running, knitting, cooking, golfing, exercising..........And THEN go find a community organization where you can do that activity with other people.
If you like to run........join a running club, get involved with "Race for the Cure".
You are responsible to make you happy! Attack it like any other problem! Make a plan today!
AND no pity party! Make a gratitude journal! Write down daily 5 things for which you are grateful.........it could be little things like "the sun is shining". The more happy you are the more friends you attract, the less lonely you will be! Happiness attracts people to YOU!!!!!

Get a hobby, take classes to perfect it.
Join the local fitness club and play raquet ball, it get's your blood flowing and as you do these things, you will be meeting new people. Be active so you aren't lethargic.
Get a house broken dog from the humane shelter or pet refuge. They are great company and always happy to see you, even after a ruff day!!!!
If you are in deep despair you need to seek medical attention. Call your family doctor and get an appointment, he or she can evaluate if you need to be treated with medication for a short time period.
Wishing you the best!!

Its not overcoming loneliness but dealing with it you can be lonely but dont let it affect you. I am single and so I try to get myself out there and I try to be friends with everyone if your doing things for other people you won't have time to think about how lonely you are there are people out there that could use a friend so be one and then your not alone

Resist the urge to become reclusive-it makes it worse. Find something you like to do, and keep busy with it. Get out-go to a ball game or movie. Talk to friends, or call up an old friend that you haven't talked to in a long time! Join a group or club. Good luck!

Try to keep busy. Do new things. Join a new club. Try to meet new people. I know these things can be hard if you are a shy person, but that is really the only way to get over it.

Do one thing that will put you in contact with other people with same interests as you have.
If you like to read....join a book club
If you're interested in learning about something....take a class.
Volunteer with a group you have a concern about.
In other words....get out there and do something different.

Go out, I was with some friends yesterday and we took their dog for a walk, I was amazed at how many people stopped and spoke them about their dog, I'd suggest getting a dog!

I don't know.. I would say try to find things to do.. Workout exercise, get online and chat with someone, go to the mall... Keeping yourself busy and also being happy that you do have time alone and taking care of yourself during those times..:)
