Bodied from work and life and the loneliness is crushing me.

Bro get into some artsy stuff or start a hobby, 30mins to 1 hour is enough. Make a 30 day tough yet achievable challenge for yourself. Connect with people of that community.

The last sentence there is your problem. Get your ass out of bed and stretch for 5 minutes. Then get on your face and give me 25 pushups. Then drink 16 oz of COLD WATER.

put down the weed / booze / porn /whatever and do something constructive or educational. Cook a meal, start a garden, whatever.

As for loneliness. Being alone is a feature not a bug.

If you want human interaction, join a club of some kind. Charity, church, bowling league, gym class, whatever that ISN'T a video game or a bar.

That's how you find people who are interesting to you and you to them, a common activity.

Dude currently going through this.

I lost my job and girl two weeks apart, and was left with an unholy amount of free time. My recomendation are books, videogames, hiking... Maybe take up a hobby in which you will work with your hands and your mind (for me personaly it was tank model building kits).

I can't advise you on loneliness since i prefere to be alone... I like to talk about military history, conspiracies and stuff inbetween, and since i'm young (25) there isn't much of my friends that are into those kind of things. Of course, i hang out with them, but those conversations bore me to death (clothes, gossips, talking about fixing things in society they know jack shit about etc.)...

Feed your mind with quality stuff, set up some goals you can easily achieve (eg i'll read 12-15 books this year, start working out 2-3 times a week), if you like using some substances (for me personaly it's weed) do it moderatly (preferably alone)... I used to smoke 4-5 times a day before, but now i use maybe 4-5 times a year, just to "reset" the system. Trust me weed will kill your will for any activity if you abuse it, i went down that abbys far to many times in my short lifespan.

Excuse my bad english, i wish you all the best, brother, hope you get yourself back on the right path soon.

Stop smoking pot. It's not for everyone. It will sap your will. Also work out. This will increase your self esteem and make you feel more energetic all day.

Having a purpose in life matters, even if that purpose is something as simple as - I need to feed myself.

burnett-lignon · 2021-07-21T11:59:24+00:00

Get a dog and make a firm vow to take care of it properly including food, walks and attention.

dirtydog113 · 2021-07-21T13:44:50+00:00

I started vegetable gardening../lots to keep u busy and good food also

Crafty-Tackle · 2021-07-21T13:38:39+00:00

just spend my days hedonistically.

This is your problem. Do something/anything! constructive.

daniellederek · 2021-07-21T12:15:02+00:00

Start moonshining, you'll meet all kinds of fascinating folks.

SeymourStacks · 2021-07-21T11:56:33+00:00

Start running. Just go out and run somewhere. Perhaps with some positive music to keep you going.

22Spooky44Me · 2021-07-21T11:23:39+00:00

Do something which would "seem" unnecessary/unhelpful to you right now. Read the "Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle.

Alarming_Ad8005 · 2021-07-21T16:09:29+00:00

Start small. Every little extra thing starts to add up.

plamplamthrow0322 · 2021-07-21T16:44:16+00:00

Really gotta be honest with yourself, are you depressed? Are you putting things off that you know you shouldn't? Start there and you can then unwind what is causing this inaction. I feel loneliness and i realized its because i have a horrible vicious cycle where i actively avoid people or find ways to not do simple things like say "hi" to the cute girl in the checkout line. All those missed opportunities to connect with people i realize made me more anxious, and i would dwell on it for the rest of the day. Even if its simple greetings, i feel like i'm putting effort to connect with people and have a much easier time at home feeling like i did what i could to be social and increase my chances of making real connections.

Most people i feel like fall into this. We want to not be alone, but we don't ever want to do even the bare minimum to reach out to others, or its too "awkward" or something.

Read books, that will calm your mind. Dive into philosophy books, stoicism is definitely the line of thinking you need to study.

I don't see anything wrong with getting some side pussy. MGTOW just advicre against LTRs with a woman. Why not get a few chicks to stave off that desire for female companionship? Tammy on Tuesdays, Wendy on Wednesdays, ...etc. This will probably work put better than you think.

Find a physical activity you enjoy. Watch your loneliness melt. Might suck at first but the more you do it, the more you’ll be content with yourself.

theoracleofosiris · 2021-07-22T04:35:34+00:00

You need a routine. Set a sleep and wake time. Set a time 1 hr in the morning for exercise every single day no excuses. 30mins cardio, 30mins bodyweight strength. Cut out junk food and learn to cook.

It sounds very menial and very disconnected from being happy but it works. You just gotta keep at it for at least 6 weeks.
