Coping with loneliness: how do you manage?

[Gopal]

How do you all cope with loneliness?

I recently quit my job because the work culture was toxic. I've dropped down to 38 kg, my relationship ended, and stress is everywhere. Everyone seems to be out having fun, doing real stuff, while I'm stuck with FOMO, missing out on everything, just studying and getting ready for another job. Just a rant – I know this isn't the right subreddit, but I feel lost and hope some of you can relate.

Bhai, sab kuch chhod ke pehle weight badha, padhai tabhi hogi.

[Navya]

I hope you gain your weight back. All the best – you'll get through this.

Reading the Bhagavad Gītā helped me (I'm an atheist, btw).

[Tushar]

Well, I'm feeling the same today. I just went out for a walk and came back. It felt good walking on a quiet road lined with trees. If I can't do that, I usually visit the lake near my house and stare at the water. Sometimes we just need to touch the grass, whether with friends or alone.

It got even worse than that 47 kg girl.

On a serious note, indulge a bit. Enjoy life and the rest can fall into place. Indulgence is what makes us human, after all.

[Sakshi]

Bhai, 38 kg is too low. You should see a doctor, bro.

This evening, when I went out for tea, I caught myself muttering about the kind of life I'm living. I go out alone – no friends, no companion. I step out, have tea and be back home in five minutes. I don't even know where to sit or go. Then I return to my room, scroll my phone for a while, and sit down to study again. Sometimes it feels like there's no excitement or spark left in my life.

I end up crying, then order biryani and eat it while sobbing – it works for about 35 minutes.
