Step 1. Figure out why you feel lonely. Is it because you are alone? or is it because you feel like your relationships with your friends or family is somehow lacking? Step 2. If it is because you are alone, can you take any active steps to connect with friends or family? (e.g. calling them). Or if you can’t connect with your friends or family, can you then take any active steps to get to know the people that are around you? or can you talk to someone on the internet? (e.g. through a game or social media). Step 3. If you feel like some of your relationships with your friends or family are lacking, then take a moment to think about what it is that you think might be lacking. Step 4. Is it within your control and worthwhile to try to fix what you feel is missing? if yes then GREAT! if no then focus on your other relationships and try to get support from them.
