How to be alone without being lonely?

Niyumi··1 votes·583 views

Long story short, I grew up without friends, never so much as hugged a girl or been on a date, and my family tells me every day how much they hate me and wish I'd move out. Even on the internet, I'm largely avoided or hated for whatever reason.

So, obviously, I'm not going to stop being alone any time soon, but how can I be alone without feeling lonely and left out?

I have no idea. This is a league of legends forum though, so this post is entirely off topic.

Find a passion and pursue it.

I'm sorry that your situation is that way, but remember that there are people out there for everyone whether it be people you can be friends with or in a relationship. Just try to focus on improving yourself in anyway that you can. Eat well, exercise, educate yourself in different things, etc. Try putting yourself out there, talk to people, eventually you will find people you can befriend. If you're in school join clubs and shit. You can distract yourself with things to not feel so lonely when you are alone, but finding people to not be alone with helps so much more.

Yeah, and even horrible people like Hitler and all them had families and friends and all that. So, while that is true, I think there are exceptions to the rule.

But, "improving" myself wouldn't feel right to me, since that'd just be me being vain, and trying to please society. I like who I am, and I do eat well, exercise and learn new things every day. I'm a friendly, talkative person by nature, yet everywhere I go I'm just kind of off on my own. I joined clubs back while I was in school, and I've joined a couple in college as well -- never really did much, despite trying to be active in them.

I do try to distract myself, and some things do help, but a lot of things don't really take a lot of focus, so even if I'm totally engrossed in something, my mind is going off on 50 different tangents at the same time.

I didn't mean improve yourself to impress others, but rather just to help you feel better being you. If you enjoy your own company you won't be lonely as often.

I don't mind my own company, but things are just better when you have people to share them with. Everything I do is on my own, though. : /

Hey Sciela, i doubt this is the right place to ask those questions. You might find empathy, but not the answers. You should look up reddit instead where discussion on that subject is likely to take place, in an appropriate environment and still the answer you find there might be kinda too general and narrow, because there really are no ultimate "solutions", but merely pointers and starting points. The most important is how ready you are to take radical steps and turn your life in a better direciton
