What To Do If you Feel Lonely?

Most of us feel lonely once in a while. This is specially true if you live alone. Loneliness has no age or gender boundaries. In my case, I kept busy with my blogging and do my exercises. I found the feeling of loneliness disappears. I also talk to my 2 pet cats or start playing bridge on line. 

Here at THD, I participate in activities that kept me not isolated. I play contract bridge, Hong Kong Mahjong, Mexican train and attend exercises and Zumba Activities. I socialize during meal times if I want to. What I like here at THD, is if you do not feel like socializing at meal times, you can order food and eat in your apartment. What do you do here at THD not to feel isolated and lonely?
