Hey, I'm a bit late to this thread, but the title reminded me of a great video I saw a while ago: How to be Alone

And as weird as it sounds, when I was kinda lonely in middle school, I found a lot of comfort in online communities - find somewhere online that fits your interests and participate there.

More recently, I would say find a nearby pub (if 21), cafe, public space and just hang there - being 'invovled' in public can help with loneliness.

And never feel bad for thinking/talking about and taking care of yourself!

Thanks. I'll take a look at the video.

I was never "involved", you see; I never get that feeling unless I'm talking to a person directly. Gotta find a person, then, I suppose.
