I'm lonely. I get all fidgety when I've no one to hang out with. Sometimes I delight in my own company. Other times (like now) I hate it.

What do you do to amuse yourself if you feel lonely?

Therapy

Feeling lonely is the worst...

When I'm feeling lonely I will write, read or come here...

Azurestar, now I know why I come here so often... I thought I was being creative too...

Fuck it man, I want company in my home, you know what I mean?! I need the company of people as well as the enjoyment of solitude

I know exactly what you mean... I feel the same way. You're not alone...

That's cool, thanx Nothinbutjoy. Have this

I can't even get pissed to pass some time... Im taking a course of anti-biotic's.

:violins: :razorblades:

Edited due to typing error. I am not on a course of anti depressants. I am on a course of anti biotics. Although maybe I could score some prozac that may help!

Sometimes I feel so good to know I will have some time to myself with no interruptions. Other times I need to have the chatter of my family or even just the TV in the background to stop me thinking for too long about my wife being thousands of miles away.

Ain't life funny?

Maybe I need to get religious and start throwing dinner parties for God.

I watch Prince movies when I'm feeling Alone and I Masturbate. Try renting some Porno Movies. Or invite some friends over for and have some Drinks and play some Cool music.

I'll have a roast vegetarian option from the menu and he can choose what he wants from the spirits section on the booze menu

Maybe I should just masterbate.

Invite some friends over?! Why do u think I've started this thread!!! I wish that were an option Natasha...

i am right there...i actually enjoy being alone..a lot...but then...other times i realize i don't exactly have people to call up and say 'hey..lets go...' do whatever...or just talk to when i'm excited about something..or pissed...so yeh it's got it's advantages and disadvantages...

but there are definitely times i'd prefer not to be alone...

to amuse myself? i tend to go shopping...i also talk to myself a lot..aloud...

If you are Home alone just rent some movies or cuddle up with a good book. Do some reading and Pedicures and Manicure and Facial.

i like bein alone most of the time, 2. i spent most of my time growin up alone...i'm an elusive woman, 4 sure. whenever i'm alone i spend my time drawin stuff, mostly. my mind's always stuck on "go"...

...but then there's those times when i definitely gotta have company around...


good thing i'm alone!

Heh, yeah Rio, me too, I talk to myself aloud, I also talk with myself in my typed journal that I keep everyday. I enjoy these things. Yet when I need to just 'be' with someone, I guess that's all that will do.

Y'see, I have a 2 year old son, so I can't go see anyone.

If I have some booze, what will happen? Will my anti-b's get cancelled?

Therapy said:

You really shouldn't drink while on them... it's not a good idea.

Besides, will the alcohol really make you feel less lonely or will it make you feel more alone? Alcohol is a depressant... start planning your dinner party with God instead...

It would probably make me feel giggly and give me a case of the munchies - but yes, not a good idea to mix drugs and booze.

I'm alone right now. No wife with me. Just my computer and my right hand and a guilty conscience.

put that thing away before inviting God to your dinner party...

I always grab my camera and wander around the city at night and take pics when I'm feeling alone.

rio said:

It was a joke don't worry. I never masturbate.

used 2 play with it when was lonely...

I put on music and force myself to start dancing! Once I get started, the endorphines start moving, and I'm thrilled to be alone doin my thang!!!

I tend to clean. I put on some music (no Prince...) and get to work. At least I can feel like I've done something constructive.

However, I don't really notice being lonely. I like to be left alone to my own thought. I just can't be bothered with other people.

What I notice is boredom, which goes in phases. Sometimes, for days at a time, I'll be bored to no end. And then, for days at a time, I will not feel the slightest bit of boredom. Usually, those days are set off by a new interest. Perhaps I'll be watching the Discovery channel, and see something I'd really like to learn more about...

I'll find books, find internet information, etc. By reading this, inevitably, somewhere in what I'm reading will be something to set me off on a whole new interest, and I'll read until I find something new.

You got the right idea Berry!


Aaaawww Therapy... You'll be ok girl... Even though we are not physically there, you know we all love ya!!! Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. Watch a movie, eat a whole bag of Doritos or chocolate chip cookies or take a walk. Just do something. Pick up a book...(wink wink - you know which one I'm talking about)



But you know what used to really help me? Turn out the lights, light some candles and incense and play some soothing music. Invite magic into your world and it will surround you.

Vina

AWWW!

When I'm feeling lonely (which ain't often, I REALLY value my alone time!) I try not to spiral. Run a bath, grab a book, put on some music - really lifts you into a better space. OR watch a movie you love - anything to take your mind off the situation & consciously pull yourself out of that funk, you'll be in a different (& better) mood very soon! Works for me...

It is morning
I no longer feel lonely

Great ideas guys re. lonliness, thanx u all stars

nevermind.
