    So I know I'm not the only one here who has lonely spells. You know, sudden feelings of loneliness? How do y'all manage it. I fill my head with ponies and my mouth with chocolate. :p

    At times i prefer lonelyness over other things, mostly becouse there would be no one interrupting me when i'm either making music, videos or graphics. And theres the times when i'm actually left alone by my friends, leaving me with ponies, youtube, music and other things that make me happy. Any other time i would feel lonely, i always end up thinking about life and all that boring stuff :)

    I normally prefer to be alone than around other people, but there are still times when I feel lonely. When those times come around I either:
    a) turn up the music and become lost in a video game
    b) watch a movie (normally a good comedy)
    c) get lost in a good book

    Pretty much things that I enjoy can keep my mind off of the loneliness.

    Whenever I fell lonely, I like to go for a walk and listen to music. Usually something sad from a musical, because then I can really sympathize with the character. To paraphrase Billy Joel, "We're sharing a drink we call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone."

    I don't really get a sudden feeling of loneliness. It remains constant in me and rises occasionally. My method is music. I don't really ever have any other ways. Reading doesn't help much, I have no one to go to, and turning all my focus on one thing distracts me form the feeling, but it agitates me at the same time. Music is my only true coping method. It's a common thing to hear me playing one of my instruments for the majority of the day. And when I'm not playing or making music on my laptop, I have an instrument with me. It's comforting to me to have them near, they're a sort of extended family to me. That was an awkward New Year's celebration. I've rambled on, I know, but my method of brightening up my outlook is playing my instruments or making music. Although, sometimes I welcome the feeling as a sign that I'm still here.

    Get a pet, and you will never again be depressed or lonely.

    It starts with one cat, and then another cat. Soon enough, you'll be the next crazy cat person.

    getting lost in a good book is rare for me too... it is hard to find a good book, and when I do I normally read it in less than a week.

    I do a number of things. Sometimes I'll write, play some video games (For me it goes back and forth between a fighting game, a shooter, or an RPG), listen to some music, or read.

    Most of the time, I don't mind being alone, but when I do feel lonely, I usually occupy myself with playing a game, reading a book or listening to music.

    I don't call it loneliness, I call it solitude. Whenever I am alone, I just turn on the tv. It gives me the feeling that there is presence other than mine in the house.

    Haha, darkstar wins this thread xD


    As for me, I'm pretty comfortable being by myself, but yeah occasionally I get a sudden surge of loneliness. How do I deal with it? I usually just think of the reasons why I'm better off by myself, since it's my choice to be alone in the first place.

    I'm talking about not having a special somepony btw, I have friends, so that's not where the loneliness comes from.

    You'll end up like me. A set of curlers, a ratty bathrobe and a dangling cigarette, away from being that grouchy cat lady that yells at kids.
