Advice from experts for when you just can't seem to shake the loneliness.
Spending time with animals can also be comforting, Bruneau added.If you’ve been scrolling on Instagram a lot lately, make more face-to-face interactions a priority.
“Reading a breathtaking poem, knitting a lovely scarf, or expressing your feelings through painting or sculpture are all ways you can transform your suffering into something beautiful.”Pick a person in your life who cares for you deeply and then ask yourself a few questions like: “How do I know this person loves me?”; “How do they express it?”; “What was a time they were really there for me?”
“As you let someone get in front of you on the freeway, imagine what they are feeling,” he suggested. “Talk kindly to the cashier at the grocery store. In small ways, you are meeting their need for kindness or for help which opens them up a little, just as it opens you up.”Plant the seeds now for new and deeper connections by enrolling in a class or group that meets regularly.
“Notice the discomfort and how it affects your emotions, thoughts, and also tension in your body,” Narang said. “After a few minutes, you might start to get clear on specific actions you want to take — an action plan which is now coming from your calm mind and which is more likely to be effective than one arising from stress.”Again, experiencing loneliness is very common — feeling this way doesn’t mean there’s something “wrong” with you.
