I feel the same way, you are not alone. I’m single and live alone. I am an extrovert and a litigator, so this time away from courts and people is particularly painful. I’ve found that doing workout videos with friends is a fun way to connect with people and get your dopamine levels up. Also, there are plenty of gaming platforms you can play with friends over FaceTime, Zoom, Webex, Houseparty, etc. I have found that video calls without games have been monotonous because frankly no one has anything going on in their lives. I have a dog, so that helps and walking him daily gets me outside. Adopt or foster if you can/aren’t allergic. My friends have been dating over FaceTime as well. I’m not there yet, but I think it might be an interesting opportunity to get to know people on a deeper level first before connecting on a physical level.
I think the single people that live alone have it particularly hard and very few people have published articles or reported on how we should cope. As usual everything is geared towards couples and families “surviving” Quarantine. Well, we need to survive to. Keep your head up!
Amen! Same boat. Wana date? Hahahaha

Read the threads here on people who are questioning out their SO is not ‘the one’ and what is driving them nuts.😊
Have you considered fostering a pet?
I’ve been okay but today I’ve also felt really bummed out. Same boat as you. I’ve tried to FaceTime friends today and no one answered. Do I really have no friends? I don’t remember feeling this incredibly lonely before rona. I guess dates and yoga also kept me really busy.
Imagine your are in the retreats focusing on yourself

So, you might have thought about this already — but do you have a close friend you can stay with somewhere?
There are safe ways you can do this without spreading the virus.
Thanks for all the support here guys. I do have a cat and am thinking of getting another but yet going about my day, keeping my head up is good but the end in sight is hard. And ppl who are single and living by themselves have it harder.
OP are you based in ny by chance?
No Texas .. NY must be really hard
Darn. Was gonna say we should be friends! Lol. New York is awful rn
