The way to fix loneliness is to reach out to others
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I've learned that people are not mind readers and we must communicate what we need. Most of the time we get upset because our expectations were violated and we do not assume positive intent. The first thing we must do and this is in all aspects of life really is:
1. Be honest and i mean really honest
no one is a mind reader. you have to be specific and to the point. you cant say one thing and mean another. If someone hurts your feelings say it. If you don't get it say it. This first step becomes so easy if we do number 2
2. assume positive intent
you have to see the good in people. you say "you know what that person did not wake up this morning and plot on how to piss me off today." They just didn't plain and simple. If you are at work, church, or at home you have to understand that maybe you are not on the same page . Then get there by talking to one another! What ever you are doing in life you have to know that you are working toward a common goal. You both want to get to this goal you just have different ways of getting there.
3. forgive
we all screw up from time to time and the last thing we need is to feel cut down even more. The best thing to do is move past the issues and more forward in love.
To fix loneliness is about communication. Reach out, going to guarantee there are folks out there that are just as lonely as you. You have to take the first step
