Any advice in how to deal with loneliness? Anonymous 106292
I've been in a really toxic on and off friendship with a girl for the past two years and recently we've stop talking again. She's turned all of my other friends against me and now none of them talk to me except one childhood friend who I suspect had/has some sort of crush on me which makes me extremely uncomfortable. On top of that she's also really awkward and I have to do all of the talking (sometimes it feels as if I'm talking to a wall) . Although I appreciate her sticking around with me I feel like I have nobody who I can truly make a connection with.
Does anyone have any advice in how to cope with loneliness?

>>106292Theater/drama class or improv. These gather people to work with feelings. Good place to build friendships.

Join meetup groups around your hobbies, maybe an exercise class of some kind. Something that gets you out of the house. And keep in mind that it takes a while regularly seeing someone for a friendship to develop. Consistency is the key.

>>106292im sorry that you had a falling out with this friend, ive dealt with that before countless times and its the worst :(( have you considered joining any clubs/groups/community projects? going to places to participate in really helps combat loneliness, esp hanging out with family members is ideal when you have fights with friends. hoping you guys can make up if you two choose to be friends again <3

I really hate it when someone does that, especially if it's online.
They come online, they indicate that they're present, they say nothing, they expect me to talk something, I talk but it's usually boring stuff, they don't continue the conversation, I feel that they're busy with something else, then they leave.

I don't know what to say, but I like this video.

Eternal copium by indulging in at least 6 different types of media to prevent a chance of a single thought from occuring.

>>106316NTA I've had this problem alot as well. I prefer writing back and forth online with several paragraphs, almost mini-novels sometimes. Getting only several word replies tends to make
me feel uncomfortable and that I have unrequited interest. Granted, I know most people wouldn't be able to keep up with that style of communication though.

Just stay alone. It's easier.
