    awww sweetie!! How could one so beautiful as you be lonely??

    Im not single, but I have a lot of girlfiriends who are. So I let them lean on me. (not literally :p)

    Put your energy into something .....create something. Some of my best creations are when Im all alone, to my thoughts and myself. Its the only time where I can truly be ME and put it into something that represents me, my thoughts, beliefs, my loves, my passions.

    I disassociated being single as also being lonely.
    That made me feel better.
    Now I don't mind being single.
    Now I'm not lonely.

    Agree with that one. Though my last g/f...towards the end we had trouble and I felt more lonely while "with" her. Just know who you are enjoy what you do, and do it a lot.

    Do something for yourself that in the long term will make you attractive. Go on a diet, get a job, get a car. I'm currently writing a film script and when im done, im going to try and get funding off the national lottery so that i can film it.

    most of the time I find things more interesting then people..... nature, books, music, movies. I try to occupy myself, then every once in a while I get piss drunk and hook up with one of my friends. I don't even know if I remember a time that I wasn't lonely

    like odon said, being single doesn't mean you have to be lonely. I used to be reliant on other people like that, but I grew up and moved past it. I'm totally at peace with myself and I dont need another individual to make me feel whole.

    the way i tend to fight loneliness? get drunk, and just hang out with people i dont know who are drunk too, makes you completely forget about any shit in your life, everything seems new and refreshing. i kind of fell in love with clubs and my fake ID, it made my life much more enjoyable, seriously when life sucks, theres nothing better then dancing it off with girls you will most likely never see ever again... maybe even more than dancing ;)

    trouble is, when the ones you do see and like dont answer you calls, you cant help but feel extremely lonely, something nothing but the warmth of theyre body can cure.

    couldnt agree more.:cheers2: when i feel lonely, i go out with my mates get drunk, stoned chat rubbish all night. just forget everything, leave it all behind. the fact is, every human wants to share their lives with someone else. when a mate feels down, u cheer him up, and hell do the same for you.

    After having people repeatedly screw with me and play games with my emotions I prefer being single. It'll take a very special person to break that... nearly every relationship I've been in has deepened my trust issues. Being single is very under rated.

    Sadly you can not be "out of it" 24/7.
    You need another way of dealing with the situation.
    You also need to deal with the situation as a person, an individual.
    All you do when you share the experience is avoid the reality you need to deal with it on your own.

    Lol
    Doing drugs as a coping skill is not a good idea.

    i dont intend to be, but then i dont feel down 24/7 either so thats not really an issue for me.

    all im saying is, when i feel a bit down in the dumps i know that i can rely on my friends (not nessecarily with drugs) maybe this makes me a weak person, i dont know.

    clearly we are at odds because what i see as catharsis you see as escapism and hat i see as natural impulses you see as a form of weakness. i should perhaps stress that i do not rely on drugs when im depressed altho that probs came across in my post.

    the fact is i am bad at dealing with stuff on my own; that just makes me more depressed. I dont see whats wrongwith sharing the experience- after all, isnt that the point of this thread?

    I'm looking for a guy but in the meantime I'm trying to keep my mind off of being lonely. Fighting with friends way too much....

    After a couple months I just got used to it. I'm pretty content with my life for the moment. I like not feeling like I need a gf, it makes me more picky when it comes to dating

    Hahaha I was reading that and I go, "ME TOO!" until you got to the part of drunken friend hook ups, lol. I mean, hey, whatever works, right? ;)

    Being single doesn't have to equate to loneliness, though it does get lonely sometimes. I know I hate sleeping alone in my bed so I usually crash on my best friends' couch or on my own couch to avoid the empty space :/ I just like literally sleeping next to someone and when I don't, my giant Hello Kitty pillow is a great substitute haha

    Ya I have a couple of my friends that like to be cuddle buddies lol. We hang out, get stoned, watch movies and sleep (like, actual sleep) together, it's like a two person co-ed slumber party. Where no one has sex. I may need to rethink this.... lol
