A few simple tips that may help with loneliness:

• Go for a walk in a public place around people.
• Sit somewhere that can be entertaining, possibly a zoo.
• Participate in a charity walk/run. When walking in a group, people tend to talk with everyone. A random conversation with a stranger may be the thing you need.
• If you work alone, maybe you can take your work to the library, bookstore or somewhere around people so you are not alone.
• Watch fun movies or television shows, nothing depressing but light and uplifting.
• Go to free events and sit near people that seem sociable. No need to answer questions about yourself.
• It may be difficult for you as it is for many, but learn to avoid conversations you don’t want to have.
• Do something that makes you feel good no matter how small such as go for a swim, fly a kite, make a puzzle.
• Join a local group possibly chess club, pickleball, book club, mahjong group, painting group, senior citizen group, goat yoga, photography group or class.

Realizing these things seem simple. Whatever helps and you are capable of doing, give it a try. You never know. The slightest amount of relief is still relief.
