It's not like that we all have friends, family to people to spend time with. Even if we do, there are many times when people can't manage time to give us or we don't feel like contacting any. Not only that, but we can also be introvert, a sudden change in our surroundings can let us be alone. But this doesn't mean that we have to taste the feeling of 'loneliness'.

Alone time is enjoyable for a certain period but loneliness hurts. So, I'm gonna share some ideas which may help us to avoid loneliness!

Connect with people.

• There's no other way to skip the lonely feeling without connecting to people. It can be your friend, family or anyone you might like. See them more often, video calls them or simply text them. It reduces the lonely feeling of our brain.

• Connect with any volunteer work. There are plenty of social works that happen in our locality. We just need to find what interests us and be with them. It brings a sense of belongingness and gives us a feeling of 'we do matter'.

• Reconnect with your old 'known people'. Most of us have a connection with a handful people, like in friends and family. We don't have any connection with most of our childhood friends, college classmates, old neighbors and something similar to that. But connecting with this type of person make it easy to avoid loneliness during our hard time.

• Give yourself a more meaningful time. Don't always remind yourself about your lonely feeling. rather try to make your alone time more meaning full and productive like reading books, meditating, a good bath, exercising; anything.

• Have some pets. Yeah, pets are great to reduce the lonely feeling. So, if you still have not any, you can consider having any pet you like. They add meaning to our life.

It's not like following these steps will reduce all your lonely feeling at once. There will many times you will face alone while having everything in life. But our little effort can bring positive change in life. And, these little efforts do matters most to avoid loneliness in our life.
