Feeling lonely.

[Josephine]

Question: What do you guys do when you're having a lonely day?  I usually don't feel lonely, but today I just felt this overwhelming sense of loneliness....how do I snap out of it? I'm sure tomorrow I will feel fine, I usually just get this feeling once in a while, as I'm sure we all do.  So what do you guys do to overcome loneliness?

i sometimes go to the gym or work on a writing project.  then i feel like i have some purpose that's not dependent on other people.

I am alone often, I have never felt lonely.

You gave no indication as to the possible cause of your loneliness. Do you feel lonely even in the presence of other people?

[Josephine]

i don't know the cause of my loneliness.  I am only lonely when I am around certain people, like my mom.  Is that strange?  I am at a coffee shop right now, and I definitely feel lonely. 

Not really sure where it's coming from.

maybe you're not connecting with the people there.  when you focus on experiences that the other people around you don't understand, you can feel lonely in a crowd.
