I just have to get out of the house when I feel lonely, once you're out you can meet new people and most of the time I end up having a conversation with someone I don't know, even if I'll probably never speak to them again. I go out to a pub or cafe and sit at the bar or a table just watching the world go by. Sometimes I take a book and it's suprising how many people will come over and ask what I'm reading or say that they've already that and it's good.  I also like to take my rollerblades to the park or the seafront if it's nice out, although wish I could skate better. Or I go to the cinema, even if I'm on my own I love watching a great film and for a while you're not really on your own cos there are loads of people around and no one is talking so you're not the odd one out. If you're out enjoy yourself, and just do things that make you laugh or that you used to do as a kid, even when you're on your own cos people will see you laughing and chat. (Just not to look like a psycho, laughing at your own jokes! :)) If all else fails when I'm lonely I call my mum, she lives 12000 miles from me and it's great talking to her.

My plan is to get as far away from home as possible, and have as many new experiences, and meet as many new people as I can. Do what feels right to you, and remember that even though moving somewhere new for Uni seems scary, most other people are in that situation too, so you won't be alone.

Find out what services are offered through your local agencies (state, federal, local, religious, private) and see if you can volunteer as a helper at some level.  This will both give you a network of contacts within the community as well as an idea what services aren't provided in your area.\nIf the service you want to provide ISN'T anywhere near you, then try contacting a remote location by phone or email and see what they went through to set their business up.  Typically these organizations are more than happy to talk about how to provide help to others...it's what they do!

I know this is hard but really there's nothing you can...once you get where your going you'll make new friends..no one likes moving and leaving friends behind..just email and visit now and then but you have to move so try to be positive and make the best of it...

I'd just move to LA, Nashville, Or New york and meet people, go out and just network with people, and that really is the only thing I can tell you...It's who you know and not necessarily what you know. Make sure you're up with the trends, and look the part. Hope that helps:)

Have you tried finding friends in your neighborhood? Find a nice person, and maybe take a walk with them in the afternoon. Get to know them. Go to the mall or a resteraunt, and start a conversation with someone, dont sound desperate though. Later, when you have to leave say, maybe we can talk sometime, you can come over maybe and we can have a barbeque or something! Good Luck!!\n\nP.S. try Yahoo Ansers too.....some ppl give u their e-mails and maybe you can visit them.\n\nGood Luck and hope this helps!

Definitely make some new friends.  Even or especially if they seem to be totally the opposite of people you are normally friends with.   Join an activity/club/course (sports league, book club, cooking class, etc.) and new friends will come automatically.  You may also gain a skill that makes you more confident.\n\nAlso, going to the gym or riding a bike, taking a walk, etc. will make you feel better b/c of the endorphins that exercise naturally provides.  Do little things for yourself -- like even taking a different route on your way to work/school/errands, or taking a walk in a park you've never been to, can make a big difference!

Go to a tourist attraction in the city, or nearby city.  It's something most locals don't normally attend.  Then hang out at a cafe and find out more about the person.  If there is an event that is going on, then head to that.

Go outside and get some fresh air to clear your head. Who knows, you might meet a real person.
