I lived alone and do enjoy my own company...this is because my job is hectic and emotionally demanding. I do now live with a partner, but I savour the times alone and get up early every day so I can sit quietly with a coffee and not *have* to talk!
I think the best way to cope with feeling lonely is to pack your life with good social activities and not be at home too often if you are struggling with too much time alone....there are a lot of benefits to living alone too...such as eating what you want when you want, having the heating set how you like it, having your own way about everything from the decor to the time you turn the light off at night, no snoring (from a third party!) lol Maybe fill your life with hobbies and social activities so that the time you ARE at home feels like a sanctuary from a busy world...thats how mine feels.Like (2)

Living alone is good for you, for a while. And can still be good as long as you know what to do with and for yourself. If you start to go a bit stir crazy, you must find something to do. If you are lonely for friend companionship, hang out with friends. If you don't have any, go to your favorite places, and while it is hard for me to do, try to strike up a conversation with someone that seems interested in something you are. If you are relationship alone, well that is harder. At least for me. I was married, had kids, and it was an abusive relationship. When I finally got the confidence to leave, let's just say I still was not confident I could make it. It's been a tough road, but I'd rather be broke and scraping pennies for gas than being abused and taken for granted. The kids are grown and fine. But I still have some work to do. Finally going back to school after all these years, but sometimes the old things get in the way. But dating??? Yeah right. If you have a suggestion for a 52 year old youthful redheaded female, let me know. I'm a bit skiddish, but for the right person would take a chance. As far as anything else in life? I say GO FOR IT! Get out there and do what you want, and go for what you want. It's out there to grab and make yours.

Hobbies and interests something to stimulate your brain. Ultimately you have to look at lonely and find out what it is about. What is it about being alone that makes you feel lonely? What about other people makes you not lonely? You have to dissect lonely bottom line and maybe you will find the answer.
