I eat something I like. Overthinking comes from hungry stomach so that always works for me.

As a mature and healthy adult i like to curl up in a ball and ignore the world.

I like touching grass and microfishing (Net only, since I never liked using hooks) personally, since with microfishing, there are literally plenty more fish in the sea. Nothing quite cheers me up like bringing home a tiny saltwater eel as a pet.




Eel eating some freeze-dried shrimp.

Little dude is still my favorite catch, since I caught it by accident.

I have never felt lonely since I was 20 maybe. In fact, I struggle to stay alone when I want to.
But I feel "empty" very often, like feel really nothing. So I have to fill that inner void with someone's emotions. It used to be books or women mostly, but everything good comes to an end: all good books are done, and quiet ladies are more rare than diamonds nowdays. That was nice to discover anime earlier this year, it works really well: I can suck some emotions from it, and can turn it off when I'm bored. I wish that worked with women...

I think about how I want to be alone again whenever I'm not.

Otherwise it might help listening to this:

I tell myself that my loniless does not matter.
Im not special. My past isn't interesting. My memories aren't that important. Reminiscing will not do anything.

I say to myself: Get up. Do something about it. You're too old for this Shit.
Beeing alone isn't something that will go away by "coping"

@Merve2Love and you probably dont understand that humans are social animals that need friendship and trust to survive...without trust and friendship, humans will quickly die...

@DesuMaiden

Wasn't really my point.
The point was: Wallowing in self-pity won't help.



But I get it - Friends are important.
Thanks for enlightening me.

Idk, being around family I guess. It's best to be with people that cares about you and takes interest in how you feel so you don't really feel lonely. Though, I'm not saying this is a privilege only attained by family, it's by making an effort to establish relationships, maybe care about someone so you don't feel alone. I'm no expert in mental illness, but having someone to talk to, particularly face to face, is an immense help.

Loneliness is not something I cope with or think is something that should be coped with cuz this presumes that I hate loneliness or being alone. Being alone is my norm. I feel much happier in solitude than I do with other people most of the time. Not that I HATE other people, ofc not. There are times when I wanna get out there and indulge in some tomfoolery with ppl. But generally I just like being in my own head if that makes sense.

By imagining myself dissolving with world around me..

..the relief from it is fleeting, but enough to keep me sane (I think.. atleast, so far)

I usually just hang around my cats or even sleep when I’m feeling lonely.
I’m currently trying to break out of that feeling by putting myself out there more though.
