You overcome loneliness by: - Getting comfortable in your own solitude. You canโ€™t be lonely if you accept your own solitude. - Attending social events where you can create new connections and interact with folks - Pets. Pets help out on providing support against loneliness - Making friends and planning social events - Apps. Sometimes for some folks, it might be hard to socialize in-person. Apps can help out a lot with this (edited)

Follow your passion. At least then youโ€™ll be passionately lonely ๐Ÿ˜ Jokes aside, hopefully youโ€™ll find others along the way that share your passion and the things you care about

I used to just entertain myself with book or any creative hobby to turn the loneliness into solitude; hence the plethora of hobbies and skills Iโ€™ve learned over the years. But to feel lonely in this life is just being human. I know itโ€™s not okay to be lonely despite being surrounded by a room full of people, but it also builds resilience and a positive mind sight to fight that clawing feeling in the pit of your stomach. It takes great skill and confidence to enjoy solitude rather than dwell in loneliness.

Understand what does the feeling of loneliness signify to you. Is there shame associated with not having someone to do something with? Do you think it means you are viewed negatively by others or you are unworthy of companionship or love? What stories are you telling yourself about the situation? Show yourself compassion as you examine your mindset. Learn to love yourself. Find joy in life. Glimmers of beauty and connection. Focus on these moments rather than moments of disconnection. Journal about your journey. Practice gratitude. Find ways to be with others even if it's hanging out at a busy Starbucks. Be around other people. Find communities and become part of one that interests you. With love, and all the best

I feel that loneliness, like hunger and thirst, is simply a message from our body that some physiological need is going unmet. The solution is as simple as eating or drinking. Seek out human company. Like hunger and thirst, if we abstain for long enough (e.g. by distracting ourselves), the intensity of the sensation will dull, however the underlying need will still be present, and we will experience the harmful effects of leaving it unfulfilled. I also feel, similar to food and drink, the quality of the nutrient is also very important. Quality company being people we feel belonging with (i.e. people that appreciate and enjoy our authentic self). In no way am I saying loneliness is easy to abate (I certainly struggle with it), but if we truly want to satiate the need, we must do what it is plainly telling us. Interact with others.

I was good with being alone for 3 years while my ex finance (love of my life for the first time in 39 years) was working till 1am or travelling to the US from Canada to visit family. So No being โ€œgoodโ€ with solitude doesnโ€™t do anything for you. Humans arenโ€™t meant to be alone and prison has proven that. I was fine with it because I was looking at the bigger picture of having someone I wanted to die of old age with. Now Iโ€™m just single and see someone once every few weeks

It's not about overcoming it, it is accepting it. I myself feel like it is a part of everyone's life's,in different quantity of course, but it is there. And for everyone that feels lonely, think about the person or the situation that made you feel that way โค๏ธ. What can you do to make your loneliness go away? If the answer is a toxic or a bad way to achieve it, then your next step is to accept that loneliness. How? By embracing solitude, silence, singularity of things. Find people that embrace it also. You would be amazed to find out that most of us feel lonely. (edited)

Practice good self-care. Attend to your health, physical, emotionally, spiritually. Practice your hobbies. Be as social as you can bear, giving yourself time to recover if youโ€™re introverted.
