For those who live alone, how do you handle the silence?
Sure, you have people around, flatmates, coworkers, friends....and family is just a call away. But still, it can get incredibly quiet, and sometimes the noise inside your head becomes overwhelming.

P.S. I live with family now, so there's always some drama going on....But I’ve lived alone before, so I know what it feels like.
Also, I’m not sure if this is what loneliness feels like, or if it’s something closer to depression?

Honestly, I think we overcomplicate this whole loneliness thing. I’ve lived alone for years, and sometimes I enjoy the silence. It gives me time to reflect and just be. I’ve never really felt like I was lonely, it’s more about being comfortable in your own company.... see more

I have been through this, well. Play strategic games, listen to music, go out for a morning/evening walk. Thats all . I just tend to adapt to it within 2 days.
