If you’re feeling lonely, watch this video because today we’re discussing five ways how to overcome loneliness in life starting with the first idea now.

1. Just Ask. If you feel you’re lacking meaningful relationships, then you have to be willing to be vulnerable and risk rejection. You may have people in your life like I do, whether it’s a co-worker, neighbor, or classmate where one of you throws out the idea of doing something but it never happens.

If the other person says no, or they’re busy, don’t take it personally and don’t sweat it. There are over 7 billion more people you could ask.

2. Focus on Quality, Not Quantity. Is it possible you tell yourself you’re lonely because you don’t have as many friends as you feel you should have? I started looking on social media on constantly saw people sharing group pictures of their 500 friends, and felt unpopular, felt like a loser, and started to feel lonely.

I snapped out of when I realized it’s not the quantity of relationships, but the quality of your relationships that matter. Having a bunch of people in your life will not necessarily help you overcome loneliness in life.

3. See similarities. One thing that may be causing your feelings of loneliness is the belief that you have to find people who are just like you in order to feel comfortable and be friends with them.

People who feel different than most people are prone to loneliness and depression because they feel most won’t understand them, but think about the truth that Roman playwright, Terence spoke here, “I am human, and I think nothing of which is human is alien to me.”

4. Find Your Creative Outlet. Creative expression is a human need that rarely gets met in most people’s lives. It’s possible you’re in a rut, feel lonely and misunderstood because you’re not fully expressing yourself. Unfortunately, it can take a long time to be fully open and authentic with others. That’s why creating something may be something you want to do.

And the fifth and final way to overcome loneliness in life...

5. Give

Believing you’re separate from the rest of the world can make you feel lonely. Giving is the best way to reconnect with the rest of the world and feel you’re apart of something larger than yourself. What may hold you back from giving is believing no one would value what you give.

You’ll always have a place in this world if you are a giver. It doesn’t matter how little you give, as Charles Dickens said, “No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”
If you’re lonely doing something as small as knitting a hat can end this lonely feeling you’re having.
