Beating Loneliness

Do you have social interaction on a regular basis?loneliness

Do you feel isolated? 

Do you feel alone even if you are are married and have children?

Do you see other adults only at work?  Do you pull up to your home, hit the garage door opener and park inside?  Do you even know your neighbor's names?  Get out of your fortresses!  Leave the house, leave the cubicle, leave the television and leave your car.

If you feel alone and seldom meet with other adults, there are ways to beat the loneliness you are feeling.

The Internet and cell phones cannot take the place of real communication.  You need to interact and share your emotions and feelings with other people whom you can actually touch or slap on the knee when you tell a joke.  You need to bond with other people and stop hiding behind the barriers.

Open up!

Studies show that most Americans only have two close friends.  That is two people whom you can take into your confidence and share your feelings with.  No wonder so many people seek therapy!  Most are paying a therapist for the service, and illusion, of being their friend and listening to their problems, and for advice.

We are beginning to grow a society of isolates.  Children are not safe to go to the park and stay outside until dark.  So, they stay inside, under mom's watchful eye, and play video games or watch TV.  Neighbors no longer have get-togethers for the block and cookout like they did once upon a time.

Families need to begin to socialize more before we really lose that ability.

walk your dogInvite a family over to play a board game (cards do not have to be played on the computer!).  Fix a dinner for an elderly neighbor and carry it over to them.  Start interactions with the people around you.  You will find that they are probably just as lonely as you!

You can take your kids to the local park.  You might meet your new best friend while watching your kid play.  Take your dog for a walk down the street and see if you meet anyone.  Note:  It's better if you don't let your dog do their business on your potential friend's lawn!

Smile!  No one wants to be friends with a sourpuss.

And, if your spouse doesn't want to get together with the other spouse, ask them to go to a baseball game or on a shopping trip.  Start a book club, do whatever it takes to start the ball rolling.

Use your imagination and get out there!
