It was natures design to not be lonely. But lonely is in my opinion a self made creation in your own mind that only exists if you let it. You could even be lonely among your family, and friends simply because you choose to allow yourself to sink into your own world and build a wall around yourself, or choose to live in a shell.

You can also feel lonely when you loose someone due to death, divorce, or rejected by someone you wanted so badly. Sometimes we are afraid to be who we really are and we compromise our live in deceit so that we are accepted or liked by others. All this is due to the fear of ending up alone. In life, it’s wise that at one point you walk certain steps of your life alone in order to develop total freedom or independence, wisdom, and character.

So keeping the mind active is a great way to overcome that lonely self-created feelling, theres many things you could do like make hubs on hubpages, or get yourself a new hobby.

Being lonely is the idea of seeking that someone else, so you could do a lot of things to over come this which include but are not limited to.

• Speed Dating or an alternative online solution
• Chatting to exciting new friends in local forums or chatrooms and growing to like them then you could eventually meet, these could be members of the same sex also if you just fancy just a bit of company and a laugh.
• You could use services such as Bebo, facebook, Myspace and check up on old school friends, people you used to date in School or College and maybe ask them would they like to grab a bite to eat, im sure everyone from school will always want to catch up.
• You could go to a nightclass of your choice and learn something new and exciting this will get you out and amongst new people who could potentially become friends or partners.
• Another way of overcoming that lonely feeling is spending time with family if this is possible.
• You could use Craigslist or Gumtree and place an advert in the Seeking friends section explaining your situation and that you want just to have a new friend as your pretty lonely and someone im sure is in your situation too.

Theres millions more ideas these are just a few, but try doing more things, anyone who feels lonely just is in my eyes being lazy, theres a million and one things that can be done to meet that new friend or lover, you just have not been bothered to try something new, instead your probably locking yourself up in a box and not letting anyone else in.
