I would go to a nursing home, or a rescue mission, and volunteer to be a helper to cook and/or serve or do whatever they need help with. That would be the immediate thing I'd do. But for the long term, I'd start attending a church until you find one where you feel comfortable, and let them become your family. So many churches have big gatherings after church on Sundays, and once you get to know people and feel comfortable with them, you will be invited to join them for many occasions. Sometimes friends can be closer than families. Go where you can make friends. But go where you can meet good people...you don't want someone who is going to harm you in any way or make you obligated to them to take advantage of you. Give of yourself, and others will give to you. People care. Good luck and God bless!

I can understand your situation. You don't have any friends??? Not even one? I don't believe it but let us for the sake of the argument. Well if you have some money go traveling on one of those group tours. If you are broke - volunteer your time at a shelter or another place where a meal will be served to the homeless. If none of these sound interesting then get a part-time job as a Santa in a mall to bring a little happiness to someone else and make some money to save up for that trip during next year's holiday season. Good luck!!!

Many churches and community centers offer a holiday meal. You can go and try to connect to new people. And don't be afraid of going to a church. This is not the time for being pushy and they won't really tell you you are going to hell. They are just friendly people and good food. If you were in KS I would tell you to come to my church. I have a big family and I will still be there because that's were my friends are.

How do you survive on your own? You can go to a restaurant if you have money or you can go to a church or homeless shelter. If you have even one friend, you could tell them you don't have anywhere to go for the holidays and I am sure their parents wouldn't mind you coming over. They always have holiday dinners. Good Luck! If you lived near me, I would let you come here!

I suggest giving to others and reaching out to other people. Volunteer to work at a soup kitchen or homeless shelter etc.., It will not only keep you busy but make you feel good about yourself while helping out others.
Happy Holidays!

i gotta tell ya, helping out at a local soup kitchen, church, geriatric facility or veterans hospital can really make you feel good this time of year. it's a great way to help out those in need and you never know, you may make some great friends. good people who do the same for others as you'll be doing.

Go and help at the homeless shelter dining room. Help serve meals.
