How to feel less lonely as you get older
- tester457 3y agoIt's an irony that as I'm young, too many people are competing for my time - family, friends, relationship, and it's overwhelming. But there'll come a point when I'm older I'll have to deal with loneliness and I'll miss these times.
- majestic5762 3y agoI'm a very easy going person. I find friends everywhere I go. I have also a strong personality and I try to talk about interesting topics. People seem to like listening to me. HN loads me with intell nontheless. Wine is one of the secrets :) I wasn't like this before, but age taught me that others need me as much as I need them. We're human, cheers

- paulryanrogers 3y agoDon't have kids if your primary goal is avoiding loneliness. Decide if you truly want them and try babysitting kids of a few different ages first. It's a huge commitment, and not one that should be decided for selfish reasons
- tranchms 3y agoJust curious, Do you have kids?
- paulryanrogers 3y agoYes
- sublinear 3y agoThis is going to sound incredibly cynical, maybe even sociopathic, but every social interaction is a performance. The likelihood of at least getting along with people is directly proportional to similar or greater generalized knowledge of human behavior (and knowing how to handle it when you know more). Becoming friends is concerned with shared experiences and concerns. If you can keep it going and keep seeking people you'll never be alone.
