how do you guys cope with loneliness? (instead of playing video games, listening to music, watching anime and tv shows/movies)
| "instead of playing video games, listening to music, watching anime and tv shows/movies" I guess those are usually the most common ways to kill loneliness, so by removing them it makes this question a little bit difficult to answer. Anyway, I have my own ways to kill loneliness/boringness, such as exercising, spending time in nature, taking care of my cats, playing accordion, etc. Also, I like flea markets. I usually don't even buy anything, but I find it interesting to go there and look at all the things that people once owned. |

| Excluding the options mentioned, I like to go to the bookstore and just chill. |
  "You win this round. You doggies." |
| I generally just talk to a loved one when I'm feeling lonely. Works for me |
| Play music instruments I play classical piano |
 |
| I don't, the existential dread of dying alone just passes eventually. |
 |
| I don't get lonely, try talking to someone or working out. You need routine I jog about 2 miles every morning. Gaming whack. People on games too weird now. No one turns on mics ,no one reply to messages, no one in party. Single player sucks now political brainwashing garbage. Gaming is trash now. |
| I chat with my online friends or go to different communities depending on my mood at the moment. When you are 33 years old and when you or most of your friends are either busy with work or family, it is quite difficult to resolve such issues through real communication. |
 |
| I go to places where it makes me feel good, for example the gym. I do some physical exercises like cycling or bodybuilding at the gym. I'm not a very sociable person, but sometimes it's good to get out of the solitary routine and connect with your friends to get out of the house, like the beach or the cinema. |

| Make friends, ok I know that sounds super pretentious (because it is) but it's my favorite way to alleviate loneliness. Even just hanging out with family is good enough though. |

| Writing and working works pretty well as long as you keep motivation in at least one of the things that make you wake up in the morning. Idling is a terrible idea though. "Le travail du corps délivre des peines de l'esprit et c'est ce qui rend les pauvres heureux." La Rochefoucauld. |
| As I get older I don't get lonely as much. I found my confidence, playing instruments, fishing, streaming, finding the love for god and speaking to people around me does help when it happens. People around me including those that no longer walk this earth (god rest them) never were lonely. They always comfortable with themselves. I haven't seen Tv since gravity falls ended. Only game for the money and when little sister play something. |
| Learning new skills helps, and reading. Reading for me functions much better for distracting me from my loneliness than watching anything because I can either learn something, or I can put effort in visualizing the story. Learning new skills gives me something to work towards and be better at, and I can take pride in becoming a better painter or essayist. Another thing that helps is cleaning my room, folding my clothes, my keyboards, etc. This is not to say you should pressure yourself to always be "productive", but that working on and achieving even small things that you need to do will make you feel a bit better, especially when working on longer and larger projects. |

| ii kinda just go to sleep ^_^ or something |

| Learn to live with it. Since nothing can be done you just go with the flow while being lonely. |
| 2023 might be the year where I will be happy. This year is not happy year. |
| I take the musician approach, collect all the loneliness and use it as a motivation to make music that takes me to a better place. All negative emotions contain within them a seed of hope and joy, sometimes that seed presents itself and sometimes you have to find it yourself :) In any case no emotion can last forever and our experience as humans is always destined to change. |
 |
| By playing video games, listening to music, watching anime and movies. Oh, and also by reading and trying to do something to get out of that loneliness. |

| I don't really get lonely too much tbh. Never had too many friends in my life anyway because my childhood was dangerous & disruptive, I was always closest to my immediate family because I trusted them the most. But even so I feel awkward & stifled even when my eldest sis visits me every fortnight or so. Sometimes though I feel like I really want to ask me Mum something... but then I remember she's dead. Like... I don't know how I can forget something like that, but it's just something that still happens occasionally. Same with my other Sister, sometimes I would like to see her, but she's so mentality disturbed that she doesn't recognise myself and the rest of my family. But to kind-of answer the question - go to Wrestling shows with some fellow fans in town, although we don't always go to the same ones, go to the Comic Cons here & elsewhere, visit my remaining family & their cats, I happen to live pretty close to my nephew and his girlfriend anyway. Also group chatting with my remaining family. Also I have a Cat of my own who follows me around the house, as she always wants to be in the same room as me, she can be a pain in the arse though lol. |
 |
| Politics, philosophy, math, something more high-order to get my mind off. |
 |
| Writing is fun, too. I wish I could also draw though. |
 |
| I read manga. Or listen to rather questionable things. Then go to sleep |
  |
| Boring answer, but I just call some of my friends to go out - I feel better after that I see things start to malfunction when I'm too long by myself |
| i realize that i do not want to live like this anymore and go hard on looking for friends irl |
 |
| Either calling/massaging a friend or sitting down a writing down my feelings/memories/speculations. Oh and sometimes just sitting down and thinking. |
| خ |
| I am lonely, but lots of times I don't feel lonely. Weird huh |
 |
| Beside mentioned hanging out with family, friend who listens to all my nonsense daily, reminisce, daydreaming etc. |
| i hit up friends, play games, basically stuff that's already been said throughout the thread generally speaking though i usually love having alone time. the inability to be content on your own can create a codependence on others that obv can quickly turn unhealthy as it continues to build up, so yeah, i think it's good to find ways to keep yourself busy on your own |
| Watching videos online, working on personal projects, learning, or reading about something i find interesting. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| I've been on my own now for so long it just becomes normal after a while you stop thinking in terms of loneliness and start thinking in terms of what you can do . All the things you listed are the things i do in between not sleeping. What else are you supposed to do? |

| I just cope with it by learning Japanese, learning higher math and practicing ambidextrous slinging. If you can't sling with both hands while achieving deadly accuracy, then you'll never become a real-life superhero. |

| The past as an easy trap to get stuck in. I take a walk when I feel lonely - sometimes go the the gas station by my home even that small interaction with the clerk helps, and the fresh air helps clear my head and realize how big the world is and that I am not the only one in this world who feels this way |
I don't cope with it....I just feel naturally to be alone. I really like being alone. I don't like gossip or social fren drama stuff!  |
 If you are a friend. Visit my profile to recommend me something to watch ( ^▽^)ψ__ |
| My family keeps me anchored. Without them, I would spiral into depression. Nothing brightens up your mood more than your child´s, nephew´s and niece´s laughter and joy. |

@My-T fr, sometimes it just feels right being alone but with drugs. |
| play with my cats and go to the backyard or sometimes drink while studying/reading my favourite book |

| Probably going for a walk or travelling to some places. Nowadays, If I'm going to travel somewhere, I'm mostly going to be on my own. |
| That's easy I'm an introvert so being alone is my place of zen. Imagine being an extrovert. |

And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
| I just go for a walk outside and periodically take pictures of places. |
|
| I chill with my dog, work out, or draw |
