20/m only child. I'm lonely alot. Any advice? Is this how life goes?

No, it's not how it goes, but you have to get out there and involve yourself in life, because it's not going to come to you.20/m only child. I'm lonely alot. Any advice? Is this how life goes?
I am an only child as well. Married, but nonetheless I do understand how it feels to be lonely as an only child. The best advice I can give from one only child to another - put yourself out there. Trust yourself around others, and in turn trust will begin to build for others in your life. Trust, honesty and being yourself are the keys to finding people that are true in your life. Find activities, hobbies, clubs and other things that interest you (besides going to a bar or dance club - these places only hide people, they do not reveal thier true selves) - and in turn you will find people whom are positive influences in your life than you can surround yourself with.20/m only child.

Doesn't have to be the way life goes.


What kind of hobbies or interests do you have?


Are there any local organizations that you'd be interested in doing volunteer work?


Anyone at school or work that you think might make a good friend but you haven't approached them?


Would you have any interest in a church group for young adults?


Are you familiar with your neighbors? Perhaps your family could start a block party with the help of one or two other families.





If you need to talk feel free to email me.
i was 26 when i got married... it does get better... in the mean time, enjoy life, and be a true friend to those who are your friends. don't get hung up on ';dating';, love can surprise you, and what comes from a good friendship first is much better
Lonely?


I'm sorry.


Please meet someone nice.


You can find a nice person through many community activities.


Finding a partner at a bar? Bad idea.
Read the lyrics to ';Roll the Bones'; and ';Freewill'; by Rush.





As a matter of fact, many of the Rush lyrics might help you.
I think we find the secret to all our problems is by listening and aiding others in their problems. It takes a special effort in letting go of our own interests in favor of others.

Talk to God, ask Him to guide you, you would be surprised at the doors He will open.
Join clubs or sports. Then you meet more people with similar interests.





I don't see how this pertains to religion though..
Once your 21 you can start hitting the bars and be lonely no more.
Go to college.





You won't be lonely for at least four years.
Jesus is the best Friend you could ever have :)





The truth is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to eternal hell is by believing that Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe this and you are saved!





Please pray now: ';Jesus, please forgive me of my sins. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and You rose again. Thank You for eternal life!'; You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die :)
