What does loneliness look like for you?
Both when I'm alone and also when I am with people I feel disconnected from others, outside the loop, not in tune with everyone else's wavelength. Like I may as well not even be with these people because my presence is not felt. I also feel alone due to being single.

How does loneliness feel and how does it impact your wellbeing?
Makes me squeamish and feel sick in a way. Depressed. I can't seem to find any peace when I feel it.


Are the periods of the day or year when loneliness is harder to manage?
New years eve. Birthdays. Valentines day.


What have you done to manage loneliness, do you have tips for others?
Try to find resources on how to manage it. Stoic philosophy. Basically just eliminate social media from my life. Pit notifications on mute. Delete some dating apps. Block things or people on Facebook so I don't scroll through it and see something that depresses me further. Also, realising that it is possible to be good to myself even while onmy own.
