How do you deal with loneliness?

and solution to kill loneliness in general; but certain tools are missing in Qatar.

n order to overcome loneliness you need to share your emotions and life experiences with other people.

Try not to spend most of your time alone. If the nature of your work keeps you away from direct contact with people then try to do your best to see people on your weekends.

By going to public places or social events you can increase your chance of meeting people and so reduce your loneliness. The following are some practices you should take to overcome loneliness:

* if you study a lot then try to study with someone else. The more time you spend alone the more the loneliness feelings will get reinforced.

* If you go for a daily walk, ask a close friend to join you.

* one of the very strong factors that help in overcoming loneliness is emotional honesty. Try to be more open with your friends, tell them about your fears and worries instead of running the usual superficial conversations. If you are afraid to share your emotions then may you have a self confidence problem, Some people think that telling others that they feel down or depressed makes them weak. This is not true, you are not your emotions, if you feel down then this doesn’t mean that you are bad and if you are depressed then this doesn’t mean that you are inadequate. It just means that you are a human. Know that normal humanbeings have down times just like they have up-times. People who claim that they are always superior suffer from an inferiority complex. (See (superiority complex) for more information).

* one of the most effective ways to overcome loneliness is getting involved into a relationship. When you get into a relationship each single aspect of your life will be shared with your partner and so the feelings of loneliness will disappear. The draw back to this solution is that you cannot control the time it happens as there are lots of other variables involved. However its pretty beneficial to know what exactly makes someone fall in love so that you can use this information to attract others to you.

* Another good action that you could take to overcome loneliness is getting involved into some kind of a project that involves team work. When being involved into such projects you will be obligated to share your ideas, thoughts and even your fears with others. You may also have to attend regular meetings in order to discuss the project’s issues. All of the previous actions can totally remove your feelings of loneliness.

* One of the main facts about loneliness is that you become more attached to other people when you experience a problem or a downtime. On the other hand you may feel quite normal on your own if you had no current problems in your life and you may even enjoy your time alone, this is called the power of solitude.

Colt, you're obviously a man of many talents :-)

Wat about a bike ride? I feel lonely too while I'm on d bike alone

Welcome back Victory....

Whenever anyone feels lonely here, QL to the rescue :-)

At QL nobody feels alone!

Drmana....I was on vacation, returned last week, now clearing huge work backlog and few projects :)

Well said azilanaa....

wut up? ;-)

Hmmm...people want and don't want to solve their boredom issue...

To avoid spoiling my good mood, I take an exit from here

:-)

wk hear broken!!! tht was annoying!!

internet surfing (QL, Facebook, games, movie streaming), WORK, WORK, WORK....and of course, QLSG :)

QLSG and Ql plays a big part of my social life (or whetever's left of it..lol) here in Qatar. It whiles away my loneliness...and not being homesick.

Nowadays..if I feel alone, I go to see a very good friend, hear each other's laments about work and life...misery loves company, you know...hehehe

Or, I call my son (he's 12 and a half; 6th grade) and we talk about his school activities and all that.

I call my daughter(she's 19 y/o)...and we talk about everythings that's happening back home (she's my eyes and ears)

And I call my MOM...just to hear her voice (and nagging) makes me feel ok. :)

Somebody said that LONELINESS is "a state of mind"....try to be more busy and go out and mingle. :)

drmana ........ here iam this is me!!!!

victory v have many rally partners here...

sarath you are sounding like a creep :(

Victory we are now out of tht subject dear.. Its something different happening here!!

Good thing I keep deleting them from time to time :P

I don't see what the big deal is, the MODs can read my PMs, it might spice up their lives ;-)

drmana I like this one about being lonely

Lonely....I am so lonely....lalalalalala lol :-P

I used to hate the Mods too.. Flashy Ba$tard$ with their Parkas and Scooters with mirrors.. I think UkEngQatar used to be one. :O(

Yay drmana I am happy :)

A bit relieved too ;o)

Don't go into serious mood anyone.....its a bright sunny day outside, cheer up :-)

Khanan may be this Thursday or Friday.. Will post later on QLSG

Uk it's not about your gatherings or anything like that. I just hate the Mods, that's all.

Ok WK I give up on you.. Hope you are happy with your other groups..You are and always welcomed to my gatherings. I was the one who dragged you into this group. sorry to see that you are no longer interested in my gatherings. have a nice day.

Am in " NO GROUPS"

Uk I just don't want to get into close proximity of the Mods and I am sure I will run into them at QLSG. Who knows what else they will steal after my privacy.

Lets start "QL....no groups" group :-)

I'll be there -- in spirit.. LOL :P

McGEE Still u r nt convince..try to spend time wid me...:)

idk if i was even a member come to think of it... I just remember the wolf inviting me ;-)

Idk when I was removed from the QLSG, the wolf told me once he emailed me the place, but I never got no email from him :-(

since when are you not a QLSG member you were there last Monday what happened.. WK.. Not drinking is having some real adverse affect on you my son.

Coz it's irritating to see/read that after being invited, people is being a sour-puss...and posting rubbish...

SOME PEOPLE DO NEED GROWTH HORMONE TO GROW-UP!!! Really...!!!

although not in this thread, saeed said he's treat was on the 26th, we're a week early, so where is this THUR happening at???

Uk since I am no longer a member of QLSG I won't be coming to your party :(

See you around :)

tinker Britexpat is right cannot disclose such information on main forum.. you can Pm me if you like..:)

no need to repeat many times!

This is a public site and that sort of information cannot be divulged online because it may embarrass the participants...

You're not hot, so no, not interested :-P

nothing left to deal with... already dealing with the stuff... :)

Anybody wanna offer of picking me??

wk remember what you promised me..I am still waiting..:)

I meant THUR, where is it at?

lol yes sure, why not ;o)

tinker I am not going to any meet-up on Thursday. How about a private meet-up ;o)

am I missing something?

Colt I will be there

Ok guys leave my group alone and if you want to discuss QLSG..then discuss on the QLSG thread..lol

Where is tomorrows meet and is it open to all? I wanna put faces to some names, so Ima try and be there is it's OPEN!

welcome on Thursday!

sarath.. i like to help everyone..

Workaholic!!!!!!!!!!!

it's not an open invitation. But if it is posted in the main forum, yes, you are right, it's for all! The xception will still on the shoulder of the group manager or whoever he gave powers to! Lol!

i feel the same too.. i just spend more time on work and not encourage sad feelings. but when it really creeps in i go out, eat out, go window shopping, or sometimes take a shot just to make myself go to sleep hehehe one hting i notice time flies so fast in this place. work . home. work. home

Doha jadeed !!!

Uk?? so u dropped the other project??

I mean to helping out mcgee from lonliness?? Nw u wanna join ruby 4 a coffee??

are for matured individuals. We remember faces, not names. Lol! And I am still a guest although I'm an "ex"!

Loneliness is just a state of mind just like any other emotions.. For me, i just don't think about being sad, it's like i have a switch to turn emotions off and on.. ;-)

but when the switch is turned on, and i get sad.. hmmm.. internet, watching movies and going out with friends are my coping mechanisms..

I'll just run off to the shops and get the cream :O)

read UK's last post

Thanks for all the that came last night. Was a lovely evening.. See you all again at the next QLSG which might be an open event so thos who are interested in becoming QLSG memebers may wanna come along.

UK, now dont take her to your gym..:)

Stiff drink and a plastic Mr. Wobbly whiles away the hours..

I don't know.. I've already forgotten that feeling...

Internet, TV and movies.

McGee I am listening.. So where can I take you to cheer you up.

TV, DVD, PC, Internet, Work, Clubs.

I start Qling
