I’m not an expert or a psychologist that studied loneliness, but I gained some insight into the subject. There were times in my life I felt alone, and there have been times when. I thought I had too much company.

I noticed that feeling lonely is a feeling more than it is a mindset in your life. Not being lonely could mean having one good friend that understands and knows how to cheer you up. It is knowing you are understood and someone cares about you.

The best way to stop feeling lonely is to stop thinking about how lonely you are. Find things to occupy yourself with, for example, bike riding or reading a good book.

If you want to make some friends try going to random events, you can find them in the newspaper or meetup.com, or join a gym.

Find people you want to be friends with and make the first move by introducing yourself and finding things you have in common. Keep the conversation light and casual. Then ask them if they would like to get together somewhere sometime.

The people with the most friends are not the happiest or the least lonely. You can have 200 calls daily, be in a room full of people, and still feel lonely. Find people you have things in common with and enjoy their company.
