I cry and then go eat.

This is highly unhealthy btw, don't use food to deal with ur sadness/loneliness/etc.

Last night I was kinda lonely so I watched a bunch of chess videos and then wrote this long stupid creative writing bit about chess Grandmaster Fabiano Caruana.

Spend your time being productive. This can sound quite draining but we’re only lonely when we think about fun we could ‘potentially’ be having. So making good use of our time by investing in ourself and achieving long-term or short term goals is a great way to not only improve your mental well-being but increase your ability to attract friends. Once you find something you enjoy you’ll look back and wish you had time to yourself; not the opposite :smile:

I rarely ever feel lonely if I'm honest. I thrive on my alone time but I get just enough social interaction throughout the day to prevent myself from becoming socially inept :lol:

I guess if I were to give suggestions on how to combat loneliness, then talk with friends or family. Go for a walk and strike up a conversation with a stranger. Join a club that you're interested in where you can meet like-minded people. Play online games. Better yet, invest yourself in something you're passionate about. No time to dwell on feelings of loneliness if you're grinding at something you truly enjoy.

Hope you're okay man.

I don't actually know what it means to feel lonely. Can you share what's it like?
