How do you cope with loneliness? (lemmy.world)

It's not that I don't have anyone to talk to, it's that I don't have anything to talk about with others, and sometimes it happens that it's impossible to endure that loneliness and I want to socialize so badly, and I don't want to drink alcohol or watch shows on Netflix to drown out that feeling, because lately it hasn't helped. I wonder how you deal with it?

It is hard but quick. You don't have to invite yourself to their home for coffee. Give them the snack, and go back quickly. You'll ask for their name another time.
