What do you do when you are lonely? - Page 3

**Aboni** · 01-26-2012, 04:24 AM

listening to music, play games, reading, thinking

**ctiquila** · 01-26-2012, 07:33 AM

I am rarely lonely, but one thing I do is get on my phone and call one of my sisters.

**Lord Shadowbane** · 01-26-2012, 11:54 AM

Read a book of mine or one online (or the forums/random articles of interest)
Play random online game
Play one of the 2 mmorpgs I'm active in
Make myself something to eat
Check my mail
Sketch the world outside

**alateja** · 01-26-2012, 12:01 PM

think
read books
drink coffee

**SarcasticVlad** · 01-26-2012, 12:08 PM

I like being alone, I've never felt lonely before. Or maybe I did but I couldn't identify the feeling. Anyway, when I'm alone I read, think, surf the web, play games, listen to music or watch TV.

**deb027** · 01-26-2012, 05:35 PM

I almost never feel lonely, maybe after a breakup for a little while. Otherwise, the solitude relaxes me.

**pawn23** · 01-26-2012, 05:37 PM

Meditate
Read
Cook
Think
Work Out at the gym
Watch Black and white movies

**Hewholistens** · 01-26-2012, 05:40 PM

skyrim, read, daydream, look at the sunset on top of a high place, meditate, or watch others. I've never been lonely. Solitude is the best retreat for me.

**JulietCapulet** · 01-26-2012, 06:55 PM

Talk to friends mostly.

**jetplane48** · 01-26-2012, 08:49 PM

I talk to myself, and argue...it gets pretty loud especially if I sense that no one is nearby...at least I hope they aren't listening.

I also try to do crazy things such as trying to stare people down to test their willpower (only if I'm in a bad mood)

	-spend time here or in my dreams -panic because time is so short and it will run out..

Misread the original question (lonely-> alone), sorry.

When I am lonely: nothing.

**Meray** · 01-27-2012, 02:21 AM

I like to be alone. After a day of having to deal with people I look forward to going home and being alone. I usually spend alone time on the internet, reading, drawing, going on long walks, shopping, making sushi, organizing and cleaning, and just lounging around and thinking. Sometimes I play Skyrim or watch a movie.

Sometimes though I will feel lonely, whether I am with people or not. I think it is because I don't have anyone in my life that I am really close to and I don't care much about my friends. When I feel lonely I just let myself feel lonely.

**hamlet9** · 01-27-2012, 04:19 PM

Good lord, I haven't felt lonely since I was a teenager. I'm not sure I remember what it felt like.
I spend my free time writing and reading, and I don't have friends because they cut into my free time. I love my time alone.

**JC22** · 01-27-2012, 05:33 PM

Most recently:

Look up at the ceiling from my bed, and yell "Why God? WHY?!?"

**teraczy** · 01-27-2012, 05:48 PM

Rarely happens, being alone is the best for an introvert. But if so, reach out to someone, exercise, head outdoors, get some fresh air, walk by the lake, bike to the beach..

**Sniped Soul** · 01-27-2012, 07:32 PM

Exercise or play video games. A good nap works as well.

	I spend way too much time on here.

Same, and on other internet forums. I'll go through phases of obsession with a particular forum, then drop back into obscurity.

**Kiolaco** · 01-28-2012, 12:30 PM

I usually read a book, watch a movie or play video games.

Sometimes, if I feel like it, I grab my dog and go for a walk.

**Paul Siraisi** · 01-28-2012, 01:49 PM

Which is it, lonliness or solitude?

I don't get lonely. Solitude is the default environment where I do everything. What don't I do?

**Megalomania** · 01-28-2012, 01:56 PM

Soak it up while listening to this

I talk to people until I realize why I wanted to be alone in the first place.

**Mariko** · 01-29-2012, 01:04 AM

I don't really get lonely...

**Ricardo Diaz** · 01-29-2012, 01:47 AM

Call other cynical friends. Meet at coffeeshop or bar and make sarcastic commentary about the state of the world in general and mock everything. This can go on for hours. Then go play pool or golf. Or maybe chess. An interesting feature with my friendships is that we never press each other for information.

"Where were you the other day?"
"Oh I was doing some stuff"
"Oh Okay"

This isn't disinterest in the other person's activities, but a healthy respect for the other person's space. If I wanted to tell you where I was the other day, I would have done so in the first place. I just hate people who are too inquisitive. I like talking about general, non personal topics when shooting the shit most of the time. I'm not big about "sharing your feelings" and crap like that. It never leads to any good.

**sunlover** · 01-29-2012, 05:00 PM

I can honestly say I've never felt "lonely".....at least not that I can recall.

**Nightmare** · 01-29-2012, 05:43 PM

Sulk, mainly
