What do you do when you are feeling lonely?
I have a variety of things that I try to use, including getting out of the house, even if for a quick movie or to head out to karaoke. I also try to busy myself and use my CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) training to remind myself how alone I'm really not.
Lately, I've also talked to some friends about the impromptu phone call, that's something I'm shied from in the past- my whole formality complex. I've never done the "open house" thing and have a hard time realizing that that is exactly what many people want and enjoy. Just because I prefer a schedule doesn't mean that many of my friends don't mind a "hello, want to hang out?"
When I let the lonely really get to me, I just wind up being incredibly unproductive until I pull myself out of it.
Oh, but the best is to say "I Need Loving On!" and have crrreature, my companion or one of my friends rub my head or hug on me for a bit. Sometimes, I feel lonely even if they're around.
