What do you do?

[EveWasFramed]

Im sure that most people here have likely experienced situations where they have had friends but the friends just sort of drifted away. Nothing as overt as suggesting the friendship is over, but people make new friends or get busy with life or other interests and the friendship is kind of just lost in space (if that makes any sense) and it leaves a hole where the friendship once was. The closeness is gone and there's nothing much to fill that void.
What do you do to replace what's been lost?

 

[Barbaloot]

Other people, cats or mindless entertainment such as the Sims.

 

[Malfoy]

Make a concerted effort not to make more friends, unfortunately. I'm sort of the bitter type though.

 

[musicstoodstill]

what was lost, cannot be replaced.

but it can be filled in different ways...new people, new experiences, new opportunities.


then again, eating peanut butter chocolate ice cream helps.

 

[IgnoredOne]

Coffee.

 

[EveWasFramed]

Ice cream and coffee. Works for me, lol.

 

[kamya]

Find a game to get lost in or focus on work.

 

[LonelyInAtl]

Buy a new gadget.

 

[Limlim]

Replace said friends with Limlims, they make better friends anyway

Where might I find some of these Limlims you speak of?
Do I purchase them or take them by force through means such as this....

I eat, I sleep, I breathe.
I earn money.
I try to survive each day.
I assume I am on the "right" track.
I wonder if my life has any meaning.
I occasionally laugh at: the absurdity of my anger, my obsessive perfectionism and overwhelming anxiety.
I try not to worry about getting old.
I try to imagine what it would be like to be incredibly popular with women.
I worry if many people will attend my funeral.
I worry about getting cancer or suffering terrible pain in my last year of life.
I get cheered up by my dog every day.
I worry that I'll lose my current job.
I sometimes think I'm not trying hard enough.
I worry that I'll be unemployed(able) one day.

 

[BrokenInside]

New friends but never get older ones off my mind.

 

[Okiedokes]

Nobody replaces anyone for me.. but I will make more friends as I like to do that anyways. That or watch something good, listen to music, draw, write, crafts, books.

 

[shesafrozenfire]

Nothing.

The void that has been left in me by people leaving me just continues to grow.

I try to ignore it; I throw myself into other pursuits - at the moment it's nursing school, so fresia yeah I'm busy. I attempt to distract myself from how miserably alone and lonely I really am, and I can get a good run of, um, denial going for a while - months, maybe even a couple of years, but with each new rejection or loss, I'm thrown back against the harsh reality.

That's where I am at the moment.

I wish I could hug you and take away your loneliness.

Really.

Thanks, Soph. xox

Time helps. Give enough time, I'll get over this honeysuckle.
