Strategies to Reduce Loneliness
1. Ask for help.
Reach out to friends and family with a phone call or a personal visit. Talk about feelings of isolation to cue in loved ones. If you have a significant other, tell him or her that you’re feeling lonely in the relationship. Sharing feelings helps open the door to greater social involvement.
2. Find purpose.
Join a local community, church, or temple group that dovetails with some of your interests. Consider volunteering as another great way to make new friends and socialize.
