How do people cope....

Is this why there are so many old men drinking alone in pubs?

Ask them if they are married and you might be surprised at the answer. ;)

And more seriously - loneliness? If you've got a few good mates then the chances are you'll never have the time, ok so for the first little while after a long term girlfriend moves out you might feel a bit lonely but after the initial period you should adapt pretty quickly. Going to the gym or doing some sort of sports helps with both keeping active and alieviating boredom if you start to suffer from that.
 
i dont get lonely i moved to aberdeen a yr ago for work only thing i miss is the gf and the ease of meeting up with mates.

but thats what weekends are for.

Did it from 16-27 (apart from 1 nighters, short term GF's yada yada yada)...

But I hate most people with a passion, and most people think I'm a bit "special"

Having a good Social life and Illegal drugs help enourmously:D

Take from that what you will.
 
I've had the house to myself since Thursday evening - my housemates left that day and aren't back till Wednesday. Been OK really though, bit fed-up with my housemates at the moment and I've got loads of work to do, so it's been good to have some time to myself. Also - and as sad as this may seem - I kind of see it as a bit of a practice run at how things will be in the future, because I'll probably end up living on my own at some point in the near future.

With all that said, I've spent a lot of time at a mate's house (it's where I am now actually) so we can both get work done, which has been quite good.
 
I was alone for 3 weeks, 3rd week I felt depressed if I didnt have mates around its boring having nobody around
 
Looking forward to living on my own. So much so that I told two mates I didn't want to move in with them.

I like the extra freedom and I'm sure I can find enough to keep myself occupied.

I spent my 2nd year of Uni living alone and while it can be boring sometimes managed just fine and didn't go crazy. I didn't even have the internet! :eek:
 
Ive lived on my own for about 3 years now, its fantastic, loads of space, can do what i want when i want, no-one hassling me.

Dont spend many nights in on my own mind, gf spends a lot of time there as do friends.
 
Lived on my own for 7 months now, see bf a few times a week and stuff though. I live a fair distance away from my friends so I dont often have anyone visiting me. It's fine when I'm at uni during the day, but can get abit depressing when i'm on holiday. Just try to make plans so I have something to look forward to, buy some new dvd's and watch them. Can drag a trip to the supermarket out for a good few hours. If i'm honest I hate living alone but I wouldnt want to live with anyone other than my other half. More a case of just dealing with it for the moment. Make plans and be hopeful it wont last forever.
 
I've lived on my own for the last 4.5 years. I think that it affects different people in different ways, I personally don't mind it as t gives me a cange to do my own thing and relax after working all day. There are times when i would like some oe to talk to but thats rarely. Most of my friends live along way away from me so I don't see them that often but we communicate online quit a bit.

If you are feeling that bad about it then go out, meet people, take up hobbies/sports and join groups. I.e. do activities which allow you to meet new people.
