How do you cope with being lonely?

learn. there are times when a person is in a situation where they cannot be with other people in a social setting that makes them comfortable. study. if you have access to the internet [as you seem to, because here you were], i'd suggest checking out MIT's open courseware. it's great. stanford, harvard, tons of universities are making their curriculum free and open to the public.
if nothing else, learning enough about certain subjects will make you sickened by the superficial, shallow interactions people call friendship too often, and thus slightly less lonely.
also, drawing or writing, star gazing, whatever you dig.
basically, strive for creative and positive activity that gives you a sense of accomplishment. at least you won't be wasting the time you've been given to better yourself.
'the spaces in between leave room for you and i to grow.'

I get lonely probably at the most..twice a year, so not really an issue to spend alot of time thinking about. I need my "alone" time as much as someone else probably needs to be around people.
Oh geez, I just watched that on YouTube. Hilarious!!!!
That could be a whole new thread. If you could take two people with you on a boat, who would they be?

So, I know they are making fun of Lil Wayne and Akon
But where did they find that beat? Any idea?
I kinda want to do this song for karaoke for my friends birthday
Listen to Neil Young's "After The Gold Rush" start to finish. Repeat as necessary. As I write about what I think about whats around me.
It got me through a couple lonely days in Kolkata.

Touche.
You kidding? They're getting married soon.
If I'm feeling lonely,I drink beer and hang out with my beer belly.
dude, you're 15. Awkward age.. I remember when I was 15, it sucked.
It gets better though, a lot better.
Go out and get involved in stuff -sports, clubs, after-school activities, whatever. It doesn't matter what, it just matters that you're socializing and meeting people. Tell yourself that you're the best bass-player on the planet, that you're a shockingly handsome stud and you're a lady-killing smooth-talker, lie to yourself if you have to. Eventually, maybe a year or two, maybe a few months, you'll believe it and once you do, you'll be wetting the noodle on a regular basis. Just remember to wrap it.

I never said it helped. It usually makes me feel worse. Or it mixes my lonelyness with some anger. I just said thats what I do.
Its sometimes accompanied with drinking.
