Since most of us are Internet marketers, I am assuming loneliness is a by-product. At least, this was my case for nearly 7-8 years. What changed?
I started running, taking part in marathons, joined a running academy. Basically, I am an active or semi-active runner these days.
Back in the days, I was a gym-rat. But, it didn't do any good to my social life. But, running changed the stakes for me. It helped me make new friends, chat with like-minded people, gave opportunity to celebrate with them when we completed our first half-marathon together, and gave me many opportunities to be more socially active. Like, I was invited to their house for functions, etc.
Tomorrow, I will be doing shoe-shopping with one of my running buddies. Trust me; these things didn't exist in my life for so so so many years. (mostly my fault) I was so engrossed in making money that I cut my social ties to an point where I become non-existent to everyone. Gladly, those days are left behind.
Of course, I am not diving into the health benefits of running because it's a known domain. But, my social life has taken a boost in the last one year like never before in one full decade. I feel blessed because of that.
I was wondering, how lonely are you or what changed the stakes for you? If you are lonely, follow my path (like embrace some sporting activity) or take clues from other interesting answer that this post might receive (whatever suits you) because you don't deserve a lonely life. I have lived that life so I know how depressing it can be, especially during festival seasons.
