Alone
More info
Sometimes we are alone and feel lonely. Especially if we are alone and away from friends or family for a long period of time. Loneliness is a feeling that is telling us that we need to connect with other people. Loneliness can make us feel sad and when we are sad we can be less likely to take active steps to deal with our problems. Being passive when we feel sad and lonely is unlikely to help us feel better. Taking active steps to connect with the people around us might be just what we need, even though it can be hard to take the first steps.
Detailed info
Step 1. brainstorm and write down 5-10 different ways to meet new people around you, no ideas should be disgarded at this step. Step 2. Rate all of them on a scale of 0-10 how passive vs active the solutions are. Step 3 Rate all of them on a scale of 0-10 how likely they are to be effective. Step 4. Choose the solution that is the most active and most effective, if it does not work or if it is not feasable then try the next best solution.
