Solitude or Lonliness
Hey guys,
Is there anyone else besides me who is living alone in a city away from home. Without any friends or much social life.
What is your anchor/baseline to keep doing it.
Like motivation for career can fuel till certain extent, emotional burnout is real, even if there is storm in personal life
Crazy thing happened today- I got the worst headache and bodypain, my brain numbed. I had no one to call, and somehow I accepted whatever happens next. It was one hell of a feeling
Any thoughts?

There's another side of the coin, I would die to live alone from my narcissistic incapable family.
+1
Almost every middle class Indian family is narcissistic to a certain extent, everyone has childhood wounds and traumas. Question is once you start living alone and sit with yourself, what do you do. Will take some months to stabilize but then what?? That’s where I am
Build a routine. That'll keep you occupied.
Try hitting the gym. It helped me a lot.
Trying brother!
It looks good initially, but difficult to keep up that motivation when you have no one to share that routine with.
I was in a similar situation 10 years ago
I used to go theater to watch movies alone
Used to learn and teach juniors online, earning extra income, and used to enjoy investing some portion
Also used to go iskon to understand scientific Geeta courses and got few people to interact with
Also used to visit hometown regular basis without thinking about travel fare amount
We should invest money on ourselves, it could be anything which makes you happy like learning, shopping eating out, giving gifts, etc
All the best
Thanks.
Hope you're feeling better. Even if you're alone, try to find some people to be with. You never want your family to worry about you and they will feel helpless knowing this. This will be very bad if things get worse. Ask for help, most people help when they see someone in trouble...
Due to past events , I naturally don’t trust people enough to be friends with them. I noticed this very recently.
Bro get a pet either a dog or cat.... U will just enjoy this would change ur life.....
Interesting, will think about it
Who will entertain and look after that pet when he is away for work. It also gets bored with no one around similar to humans and requires to socialize. He will at least get that when he is at work, but nothing for the pet. 😢
One suggestion which I can give from my bachelor days is to stay with flat mates or room mates. At-least they would be able to help you out. If you are straight out of college, best is to stay with your batchmates.
I am not a fresher. My friends moved to different cities as they switched companies. Sadly I prefer to live alone lol. Suffering is inevitable
