孤独
孤独is an issue that can affect us all, young or old, at any point in our lives. We might live in a busy city or a rural location, on our own or with others and still feel isolated.
You should not blame yourself for feeling like you are struggling, now or at any other time.
Feeling lonely
孤独has no common cause. Sometimes it can be triggered by a life event or change in situation, or it may not be triggered by anything at all.
我们都以不同的方式感到孤独。这意味着我们可以尝试克服孤独感，我们需要确定对我们有用的帮助和支持。要记住，孤独和困难的感觉可以通过。
While loneliness is a feeling we can all relate to, sometimes admitting we feel lonely is much harder. We want people to talk more openly about feeling lonely and the impact that loneliness can have.
有时，与可能感到孤独的其他人接触会感觉更容易。您可以采取许多简单的动作来帮助使某人摆脱孤独感，而这样做可能会帮助您感到孤独。

1. Keep in touch with those around you
与朋友和家人交谈。有时，无论有人在拐角处还是更远的地方，友好的聊天都会有很大的不同。
Whether you choose to meet up in person, or chat on the phone, via video calls or on social media, all contact can help remind you that you are not alone.
Make sure to check in regularly – most of us love hearing from people we have lost contact with. Creating a routine of checking in with others and being more sociable can be good, as it can make it easier to reach out at the time you feel lonely.
Messaging old friends or colleagues, or setting up a group chat on a messaging app like WhatsApp or Messenger may help them and you feel more connected.
2.加入小组
找到一个具有共同兴趣的小组。成为离线或在线团体或俱乐部的一部分是建立联系并结识人的好方法。考虑一下您想尝试的活动，并寻找以这些为中心的小组。
The people around you may also be able to introduce you to a group they belong to. This could be anything, from gaming and singing to cooking or sport.
Also remember to be welcoming to newcomers and seek to involve others in the conversation, especially those who may be lacking confidence.
3.做你喜欢的事情
Filling your time doing more things you like can stop you from focusing on feelings of loneliness and is good for your wellbeing.
Spending time outdoors in green space, doing exercise and listening to podcasts and radio shows are just some of the ways to boost your mood and occupy your mind.
4.分享您的感受 - 但不要比较
能够谈论与他人的感觉可以帮助孤独，听到熟悉的声音或看到友好的面孔会使我们感到不孤立。
但是，尽量不要将自己与他人进行比较。请记住，许多人可能只能在社交媒体上分享他们发生的好事，因此比较可以使您感到孤独。
另外，我们永远无法确定别人正在经历什么。
5.帮助别人感到联系
与他人接触 - 想想您认识的人可能会感到孤独并努力与他们联系。
请记住，很长一段时间内感到孤独会使人们更难建立新的联系。对于孤独感而言，可能很难回应您的友好联系，因此请保持耐心和友善。
尝试与周围的人保持联系。如果您在街上经过邻居或熟人，请花点时间微笑，挥舞和聊天。您可以提供交换电话号码或创建本地组聊天以保持连接。
考虑花时间自愿 - 这是结识人并联系的好方法，看到您的行动的好处确实可以帮助您促进您的心理健康。
