“OMG, I AM SO ALONE!”
I think we’ve all been there at some time or another.
We feel like we are the only ones going through the hell we are feeling.
So what in the world can you do about this horrible feeling?
What to do when you find yourself so alone
Take a friendship minute:
If your busy days has literally pushed out time for your friends, make a phone call for a short chat. This will keep you going until you have the time for some much deep conversations.
Go ahead & make the first move:
Sitting back & waiting for someone to contact you is not going to help. You have to make that first move. Who knows, they may be waiting for you to contact them.
You have to take a risk:
If you’ve been hurt in the past by betrayal, loss or any other hurtful situation, you have to move past that. Finding good friends are so worth the risk.
Be careful of internet relationships:
Sometimes, you can hit the jackpot & find an incredible friend on the internet, I know I have. However, just be aware that some people can broadly misrepresent themselves without you knowing it. Just be very cautious.
You must know that you are not the only one who is alone:
If you instead concentrate on helping someone else out a lonely time, you will be amazed at how it will reduce your own loneliness. Be a good listener, give someone a smile, say hello, open a door for someone, can all make someone’s day.
Think back about past “healthy” friendships:
I emphasize “healthy” & not toxic friendships.
If you had a chapter of your life that was fun, caring & encouraging of old friends, photos, cards or even yearbooks, go ahead & reminisce. These memories of times when you were loved in the past is a healthy reminder that you’ll be loved again.
Make a phone call to an old friend:
Calling an old friend can be boosting for both of you to catch up.
You might need to be less critical:
If you’re looking for the “perfect” friend, you may be friendless for a long time. No one is “perfect” & to fit your criteria may be an impossible task. Keep in mind we are all unique, with different habits, skills & idiosyncrasies.
You may want to be grateful for someone with honesty, loyalty & communication qualities, which are the foundation of a good friendship.
Think about getting a dog:
There is nothing better than unconditional love. No matter what mood you are in when you come in the door, your dog will be so excited to see you with all the love you can handle. If you can’t smile from that…
If you want a friend & not be lonely anymore, then you have to BE a friend.
This means you have to reciprocate in a relationship & remember it’s never just one-sided.
“Your life, is a reflection of how you live your life”…
See you tomorrow…

BAM!!! You delivered a home run today Linda! Every suggestion hit a home run!!! And I must say I love the idea of getting a dog if you’re lonely.
I must admit however that I never feel lonely. I really do enjoy my own company and a good book and of course now I have Lucy … but I’ve never really felt lonely being alone. Having said that I also LOVE being in the company of people I love spending time with.
Great post my dear!
Great blog Linda – I love my own company… and then I love company too.. its a fine line.. great post.. 🙂 thanks
Thanks Helen.
I can completely relate to feeling alone at times. It doesn’t even have to be during a hard time — just a day when you feel alone. I appreciate your tips and advice because I know from experience that it works! Especially having a dog because then you are never alone! =)
Your fur baby will ALWAYS be there for you. Good boy Charlie!! Thank you Kristin.
