How to cope with being lonely?

[PurpleDays]

I try to fill my life with as many different types of love as possible.

Friends, family, housemates, volunteering, tv, gaming, talking, being silly, music....

I'm still lacking a man to love and call my own, but that's gunna change some day soon

The shyness and loneliness ,these are all the personality disorders.World is not very bad so you may not be able to find a good friend.Just try to over come on this problem and you cant get success unless you really want to over come this.

Neither shyness nor loneliness are personality disorders.

Distraction is how I cope. I try to keep myself busy so I don't think about it.

How do you distract yourself, can you name a few things ? Do you live alone?

I sign up to work a lot of overtime just so I can be around people, even though I don't need the money.

I respect that, I usually feel worse when around people due to chronic severe social anxiety, especially if I have to work (I don't/can't work).

Trying to occupy yourself at home wont solve your problem with loneliness.

True, but you can't remain outside all day to avoid loneliness.

I love music and background noise to keep me distracted.
