ocassionally, and what i do in those cases is focus on other things, such as friends and homework. if you're still in school, i strongly recommend the latter... not only does it get your mind off of the depressing subject matter but you also end up in a really good place, academically.

Drink.

Seriously though... I'll write some e-mails or call up an old friend.

I always seemed to be one of those people who wallowed in it a lot, but as for a remedy, I guess it's a good thing to go out and enjoy the single life. Go to movies with your friends, go to parties, take up a new hobby... do something that you can emerse yourself in completely. Have fun. That's a good way to find somebody, too.

Bummer :(

Luden suggests: Friends, movies, read, music, games, etc.

Good luck.

I play my saxophone, or I write poetry, or put on my headphones and listen to music....

I rarely feel lonely; but when I do, I go to the shooting range...kinda weird. When shooting, I'm focused totally on what I'm doing. I don't want to blow off my foot. If I'm stressed, I hit the gym.

I normally reach out to one of my friends... they are supportive in these matters..

sit back and enjoy some music. even when you're alone, you got all the friends you'll ever need right there singing the blues with you.

Let's see, since that is most weekends for me-- A LOT of reading and listening to music. A good book will take your mind off just about anything.

I've been really feeling lonely lately, and I haven't figured out a way to get rid of the feeling. I just moved to my own apartment about 30 minutes from where I used to live, where I'm living alone. All of my friends are either engaged, or married, and I'm still single. So I'm like odd man out when it comes to hanging with friends. No one wants to hang with the single guy without their significant other.

It's tough. I goto the gym, and i play my guitar, but theres only a couple things on TV that I can get into. When I'm bored I get depressed, and even when I'm out with my friends I am. You just gotta realize that meeting someone is going to happen by itself I guess. Just be glad you don't have to see yer ex who tore your heart every day at work :)
