How do you deal with loneliness?

I work from home all the time. The biggest disadvantage of working remotely is live communication.

I think the main thing for those who work remotely is to find their hobby and join some community. Probably loneliness in work pushed me to create Remotely.

What do you think about it and how do you deal with loneliness?

Loneliness has been really difficult during the pandemic.

  1. I've coordinated many roadtrips, bi-weekly, to explore my area and simply get out of the house.
  2. I've made sure to constantly stay in touch with friends via messaging apps.
  3. I've connected deeply with the maker community: having the sense of feeling inside a group is very helpful to my health.
  4. Talk to a therapist. It can get tough, and you don't need to go through it alone. Beat the stigma of therapy. Like Levels' says, it's a gym for your brain.

Like the idea of roadtrips! I certainly miss travel and meeting people.

I find loneliness comes from boredom, so I have started many new hobbies. Keep busy! For example things i started doing: Flying remote control helicopters, Doing epoxy counter tops, Reading more, Cooking interesting meals (Google half moons - an indian thing), Starting many projects, I also have a dog which helps you a lot!
