How to cope with being so lonely it hurts?

That feeling sucks!

For me keeping busy helps a bit, I try to distract myself by reading stuff by authors who fascinate me -feels like a conversation- and going out for runs where I get to be among people. After the feeling has passed and I feel like being silly again I try reaching out to my -also 2- friends. Most of the times they respond better than expected. Two friends is not a bad starting point, you could always add more when you least expect it.

Please don't spend too much of the alone time lamenting about the lack of friends, it is valuable time you'll never get bad if people start crowding your space! (Sorry this was ridiculous and annoying, it was a bad attempt at trying to cheer you up.)

It does suck! Have all the virtual hugs you need!!
