Many adults feel lonely sometimes. You may see people with friends and feel sad because you are alone. Some people may say you just need to wait and things will get better, but it is not always easy to wait. It can also feel hard to give your time to meeting new people if you are busy or shy.
Still, there are small steps you can try. You can send a message to a family member or an old friend. Even a short note can make a big difference. You may also give help to someone, like help a neighbor with shopping or say hello to someone at work. When you do these things, you will often see that people are happy to talk. It may take time, but small actions will help you feel less alone.
