Things to do when you feel lonely

當(dāng)你孤單時(shí)

Is something making you lonely

是不是某件事讓你感到孤獨(dú)

Introverts like their own company, but it's easy to get too much of it. When this happens, ask yourself what's changed. Are you with someone who makes you feel lonely even when they're right next to you? Are you in a new town, job, or living space? Do your surroundings or routines feel stale and overdone? What's making you unhappy with the situation?

內(nèi)向的人喜歡獨(dú)處，但總是一個(gè)人也不太好。如果孤獨(dú)來襲，請(qǐng)問問自己發(fā)生了怎樣的變化。是不是某些人明明就在身邊卻還是讓你感到孤獨(dú)呢？你搬到了新城市、換了新工作或住處？是周圍環(huán)境或日常瑣事讓你覺得索然無味而難以承受嗎？這種情況下是什么讓你覺得不快樂？

In some cases, people feel lonely because something is missing. In others, people feel lonely because something needs to be subtracted. This can be harder to identify, because we always try to hold on to the things we believe make us happy and define us. A big part of overcoming loneliness is defining oneself on one's own terms.

有時(shí)候，人們感到孤獨(dú)是因?yàn)槭チ四承〇|西；有時(shí)候，人們感到孤獨(dú)是因?yàn)樾枰?jiǎn)掉某些東西。這很難定義，因?yàn)槿藗兛偸窃噲D緊緊抓住自認(rèn)為能夠讓自己開心并定義自己的東西，而戰(zhàn)勝孤獨(dú)很大程度上需要用自己的方式去定義自己。
