When you're lonely...

[yeet 2,026]

i speak to people on here, or play video games, or watch tv.

[Mad Hatter 4]

if im lonely, I usually listen to some form of electronic music and have a good session of gta, always works for me

[TwilightFire 55]

Either playing video games, listening to music, watching YouTube videos, watching TV if anything is on, and reading books.

[Lagom 204]

Walk around, feeling bored, looking at the nature/environment around me, observe, well, just generally .. Bored. 

[Wayzer 1,418]

Most of the time I'll just read a book, go outside and try to talk to new friends or play some games.

I talk to my friends here 

 

Oh and I listen to music....A lot of it. We're talking 5 hours straight sometimes 

[Hastur 505]

i tend to talk to my OCs, I eat with them, play with them, have deep and meaningful conversations with them...then I realize they aren't really there

[Midnight Solace 5,129]

I'm always lonely. Not many ponies would bother to even talk to me because of how unnoticeable and unlikable I am. I also tend to stay away from others IRL, and isolate myself in my room. So, I guess I'm used to it. 

[Dashy 4 Ever 4,832]

I try to read a book or draw something to take my mind off of things.

[TBD 17,228]

Pfft, I'm never lonely because I still got my shadow. 

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

Recently I've been coming to the forums whenever I feel lonely, but irl I just kind of deal with it. I worry a bunch about bothering the people around me, so I just stay by myself and be lonely constantly. It was nice in high school when I actually had friends I could talk with, but I don't know anybody at my college.

[PaulBron 173]

I'm always lonely, i just do what i normally do 

[Here No Longer 5,270]

I've gotten used to being lonely.

[Partialgeek514 4,920]

I don't know. I feel lonely a lot, but I guess what I do varies. Sometimes I just do homework, or I might clean, eat, listen to music, play a video game, or a combination of them all. I'm not really the best at making friends.

[Narcissus 352]

I like my loneliness. Sometimes I want to be with my gf, but that's not because I need the company as much as I enjoy the variety. 

[Messy Mane 9,006]

Listen to music and ignore the world.

i'm used to being lonely irl and I don't mind it one bit,better to be alone than in bad company.

I've been living by myself for a few years, so I'm used to it. When I get off work, I'm ready to get out of the city and head straight home back to peace and quiet.

I just do my normal stuff.

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

Kinda hard to feel lonely in a household full of people. 

[Dreambiscuit 8,024]

I seldom feel lonely to be honest. I always seem to have people around. But on the rare occasion I'm alone and not reveling in the solitude, I immerse myself in some sort of creative project or watch a movie. There's no better way to escape the moment than to disappear into another world of my creation or someone else's. 

[Nsxile 25,672]

Visit the forums, play games, watch some films etc.

[Retro*Derpy 3,081]

Honestly, I've learned to just kinda deal with it. Maybe play my switch or hulu for a bit, or take a nap.

[Treeglow Flicker 13,023]

A nap sometimes helps. Or I sometimes switch off from reality and have an internal conversation with someone in my mind. But then again, I think I'm always doing that.

Loneliness can be a hard thing to manage, depends on what is it that is causing that issue, I'm talking about the root of it not just the "I would like to be in a relationship"  type. I currently have been struggling for a couple years now, and sadly I tried to coup with it in a wrong way. No not drugs or Alcohol, but work, I focused on work too much. I pulled overtime hours and days working 60+ hours a week at my job. Yes for my age I can say I'm doing pretty decent, but......the money still doesn't fix the issue. Sad thing is being a workaholic is like being an alcoholic when it comes to it only pushes the issue to the next day. Alot of us think we are doing something that is helping, but one day it wont work anymore. But luckily for me, my job also happens to be one of the things that help me when I'm down, driving. Driving gives me time to think about things and reassess my situation and yes, I'm almost 26, I never had a real relationship, I sleep with a life size plush so I can pretend I have someone, but.... I have a good paying job, I have a few good friends, a supportive family so it can very easily be worse, but its not and one day I can do it, I can find happiness, not today, but If I give up, it wont come so I must go on. 

Might have gone a little off topic, just started typing, haha.

I try and get my mind off of it, anything to either keep me busy or keep me engaged, like studying or watching a TV show or movie that I love.
