Three Quick-Fixes Against Loneliness

Loneliness is a feeling that we feel now and then depends on our circumstances. Based on personal experience, the worst case of loneliness happens when we lost a dear someone who used to be near to us in our life and when we cannot find anyone who stand by us in times of needs. In my case, it's even worse because I stay alone, apart from my family who reside in different country. Based on what I read over the internet, loneliness is pretty common in this modern generation. I think the greatest solution for us the loner is to join forces and create Baymax, a cute healthcare companion from Big Heroes 6. Even though his main purpose is for healthcare companion, he can be your companion in basically everything. #iamquiteimaginativeatimes
Three Quick-Fixes Against Loneliness
But, at the moment, Baymax has not been created yet in real life. So what are our quick-fixes against loneliness?

1. Get busy

I hate to say it because this is not really a long-term help but getting busy is the easiest way against loneliness. It works like you are taking a drug to beat your boredom but better (at least it is not illegal and it has less damage to health, depends on what you are getting busy at, I guess). I don't really endorse working overtime for a pointless goal though. Get busy in learning new skill-set can be a quite useful way to distract yourself from loneliness. How about getting busy of thinking of a way to create Baymax? #stillatit

2. Snacking

Another unhelpful solution but snacks (especially sweet stuff like chocolates) create a make-the-world-seem-better effect. Omg, whatever I am suggesting start to sound like an alternative to drugs, really. Just make sure not to snack excessively or if you really went overboard, you should offset the calorie by exercise (see point 1, a useful get busy action. XD). 

3. Tone down the anti-social lifestyle

Okay, maybe it's time to really go out and engage people. The easiest will be to engage your own family in a probably an easy conversation or easy get-together activity (like watching TV?). If your family stay pretty far away from you, you may want to use the modern technology to communicate like Whatsapp or LINE. If you have problems talking to your families, let's hope you have at least made and maintain a good relationship with several friends. My social circle nowadays seem to come from high school. Life happened and thus, social circle becomes smaller and smaller but at least, I still have few people that I can contact whenever I feel like I am so alone in this world. Mind you, I only have two friends which I speak on daily basis. Oh my gawd. XD 

If all of the above fail, probably I will end up meditating on the bible's verse to encourage myself with verses like "God never leaves you nor forsakes you" for a countless number of times until I find something else to do or fall asleep. #whattodo
