How to *realistically* Cope With Loneliness

Everything seemed perfect—until it wasn’t. I used to share every little detail of my day with him. Then, one day, he stopped calling, texting, or even giving a reason for the sudden silence. I was devastated. It was the first time I truly faced loneliness, and it hit me like a wave I couldn’t escape. The void felt unbearable, and no amount of advice—”Find a hobby,” “Get out of your comfort zone,” “Exercise”—seemed to work.

If you’re wondering, “Why do I feel so lonely?” or searching for ways to feel less lonely, I get it. Loneliness can feel endless, but here’s the truth: it’s temporary. There is light at the end of the tunnel, even if you can’t see it yet. While we’ll explore actionable tips to cope, remember this: it’s okay to cry, to feel the pain, and to face it head-on. Healing starts with allowing yourself to go through it—and you will come out stronger.
