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?


Sounds like you have people you can call? If so, ask someone to go do something physical together where conversation doesn’t have to be center-stage, like hiking. If you live in a place where there’s good hiking spots with challenging terrain, such as steep hills (hopefully accompanied by beautiful views), you might be too out of breath for the absence of conversation to be unnatural.
