It's something every human being has gone through or will go through says, "Lisa Bahar”. But it's time to put together a game plan to fight the loneliness. One of the keys to combating loneliness is figuring out what’s causing you to feel lonely in the first place. To distract from loneliness, try to have a list of simple activities you enjoy or would be willing to try when you're lonely: a puzzle, playing on your phone, crocheting, quilting, watching movies, painting, screenwriting. Secondly, engaging in face-to-face social interactions tends to improve the mood and reduce depression. Activities that involve other people—such as attending religious services or engaging in sports—are also likely to have positive effects on mental health. So find ways to be around people more. It’s important to practice self-compassion when you fail at things. That kind of attitude won’t help you decrease loneliness, now or in the future.
