i am an only child-i get scared at the thought of my parents passing and being by myself-i currently have no partner and felli am going to end up alone and lonley-i often feel lonley when all my friends are with their boyfriends and i have to stay in by myself

I like to get "balls to the wall" pretty (as comedienne Maria Bamford puts it)...you know, take a nice long shower and shave everything....get out all the makeup, curling irons, perfumes and lotions... Try on lots of clothes and just get prettified...then i usually feel like getting out and about. But just making myself feel pretty tends to help tons!!

I come here on the Sugar sites and pretend like I know what I'm talking about. Seriously, I've been trying to make some friends in my area, but I'm always so awkward with it.

I rarely feel lonely since I'm an introvert , but if I do, I call my best girlfriends and make plans. If no one's around, I take myself to a coffee shop.

I call my mom or a close friend.

If I am feeling lonely, which I am often because my boyfriend travels for work, I go to my parents house to hang out with my little sisters or call up my friends.

If nobody is available, then I go somewhere with a lot of people, like Target or Starbucks and meander around.

I'm basically always in a melancholic or lonely mood. I like to listen to music, and just be lazy and watch movies. I talk to my sister in law who is basically my best friend and I'll eat chocolate or something comforting.

Call my Mommy, she makes everything better.

But if she's not home, I get drunk! j/k...maybe

I never feel lonely, seriously. I have never felt that need to have someone constantly around. When my hubby goes on mini-tours, i only socialize at work than its onto home where i cherish my alone time. when i was single,....didnt get lonely.

I'll either spend the time pampering myself, or I'll call one of my friends to go for coffee or a drink. Generally, I just try to do something that gets my mind occupied. That and I've learned to not let myself get too down about stuff for too long.

I like walking around the mall or just driving through really nice neighborhoods. Or, I'll just call my boyfriend 12 times in a row and bother him.

lol citizenkane.

A chick flick and junk food is always the best remedy!

i keep myself bussy, and there is always things to do

I clean, cook, go out for coffe, or just go do some stuff on my own.

If i feel real sad and lonely, i go pick up my little niece, and play with her, or talk to my dad, mom, sister, or just post on the internet forums >_< that always is fun!

I cry, eat, sleep, or call my husband.

I'm an only child too and I don't have alot of close friends ( none who i like hangin out w/ ).I get lonely if my bf is too bz to gimme attention so I :
-call up my bf 300 times but if he is too bz
- come online- sugar or chatting
- have some chocolate
-listen to music
- watch movies/ tv
- clean/ organize
- or just sleep/ daydream

i only just started to get lonly at times and im 26! its hard to deal with. i will call my mother of bestfriend.

this is kinda a sad post.

I read. Or write people letters. Or crochet.

I'm like a little old lady.

If I feel sad or lonely, I like to look at reruns of my favorite shows, like Felicity, The X-Files or Sex and the City. I talk to my mom, because, truly she makes things better. And also, which I thought was only silly me, but apparently people also do this, go to Target or a place like that to buy cleaning products to clean my place or do something new at home. But yeah, being and feeling lonely is not a good thing, at least being perpetually like that, no.

contact my boyfriend (he always tries to be there for me), get online and read sugar, gather up my girlfriends, play around with friendster and/or facebook, watch dvd, read japanese magazines and imagining of copying the looks there, get a haircut/any hair treatment

see how my friends are doing
watch movies, eat & pamper myself

I don't usually get too lonely, because most of my girlfriends are single so we do stuff together a lot...but when I do, I like to go out and go shopping by myself (I shop a lot better by myself than with friends usually, no distractions). Or I'll call up my parents or brothers and see how they are. Also, reading or going to the gym helps.

call my mother,sisters, watch TV, bugg my man, or go on Teamsugar

sometimes I feel like I am the lonliest person on the planet. Mostly I sit at home and watch a million movies...or go to the mall and spend money that I don't have. Mostly I call my Mom though cuz I can talk to her for hours still and it makes me feel like I'm not alone anymore.

Go find a crowd, like the mall.

i luv how everyone is saying there mom or close friend or even a boyfriend what about if you lost all of them it get pretty lonely but i learned to manage

I am ok with being alone. If my friends are busy, and my husband is out refing a little league game, i will curl up on the couch with a good book, and/or put on a mask. i'm an only child and i grew up in the military. It was dificult at times not having a sibling to deal with it together, but i think this made me a stronger person in some ways. I almost forgot, i can come to Popsugar and hang out too! I'm a newbie and hope to meet some new friends, so if you feel a little bit alone, message me, i'm a really good listener!!

lately ive been alone i have my boys to distract me and my celly... i go on the computer and read or i take drives... i love to shop that always help... to be honest none of the things that i like have been working but reading what my fellow sugars do is giving me some ideas... thanks...

I absolutely love how so many ppl said they would call their mom - that is exactly what I would do! Honestly, I have never felt lonely, and when my bf goes out of town I do cherish my alone time - but if I ever were to someday feel lonely, my mom would be my first phone call. The comments made me really think about how truly great the mother-daughter relationship is, even if I did think that I hated her from 14-19!

Read a book, organize my closets or drawers, run errands, take a long bubble bath and listen to music. Enjoy the ME TIME!!!

Oy.. I'll try calling someone.. my mum or my boyfriend.. I'll watch a show (Grey's Anatomy, Gilmore Girls, Sex and the City..), lie in bed, go online..

Feeling lonely is awful.. and I have been feeling that a lot for a while.. I moved out into my own apartment a while ago, and I lost my best friend before that.. It sucks..

Wow, it affects your immune system, thats insane...Im rarely lonely...Im married plus Im an only child. I treasure time alone actually. When I am, I call someone.

GO SHOPPING! I prefer to do that alone, anyway.

I agree with the shopping when lonely idea. I usually buy groceries, or head to Target. I also like to take long walks around my local park, or do yoga, or cook an elaborate meal, or something time-consuming like that. I'll call my Mom or my sister too, if I'm extra down. Nothing's worse than being lonely, but keeping busy is the best cure.

Other than go on the totally awesome site (here! ;D) I go shopping or jog around the next town, because its all nice parks and gardens there!

Surf the internet, listen to music, watch a movie, or sleep.

Get crafty.

hmm . . .that's a good question.

i think i just find something to do.

I don't really have close friends ( in this time zone), so there isn't anyone to call and go get drinks with, or whatever.

to be honest, i think i've gotten use to the solitude.

i bug my boyfriend and then my close friends.

then i turn to the tv and that almost always takes my mind off things.

Oddly enough the times when I feel really lonely are usually when I'm around others. For example if there's no click with anyone at a party and you feel a bit lost, or when you're at the train station and everyone around you is with someone and having fun.

I guess the only remedy is joining in or grabbing your cellphone and call someone to ask how they're doing. Listening to other people or keeping myself busy usually gets my mind off things ^___^

I feel most lonely when.. my husband isn't around. What I do? U prob don't want to know. Just feel miserable, Don't really know people, guess I cry, or take a Xanax or something. that usually makes me fall asleep.. And forget why I ws lonely or why I wanted to ... in the first place..

These are some of the things I do when I get lonely
sleep way too much
i get organized
Masturbate
Workout
Call my boyfriends hundreds of times
Drink Apple Martinis
Try not to think about my boyfriend

there's always that phase in my life now and then, feeling so so lonely, even if I'm with someone...
What I'd do:
- watch a movie, drama maybe
- listen to my fav songs, sad ones...and think of that long lost love... Yes, it's that childhood memory I couldn't forget
- call my mom... she's my best friend
- day dreaming... to escape the reality

I tend to get feel lonely when my best friends (a girl & guy) making out front of me and feel uncomfortable when I'm so bored then keeping busy is the best cure!!
