Things to do when you feel lonely

当你孤单时

Try to figure out what's missing

弄明白错失了什么

可可电台

The state of being alone simply means noone else is with you. Loneliness, especially when it's a persistent state, is a warning sign that something essential isabsent from your life.

孤单只表明你身边没伴儿。孤独,尤其是状态持续很久的话,就说明你的生活缺少某些基本的东西了。

The first step to curing the problem is to figure out what's missing. Do you isolate yourself, by accident ordesign? Do you work in a career that doesn't allow formuch one-on-one human interaction? Do you have any friends, family, or lovedones you can talk to?

解决问题的第一步就是想清楚到底错失了什么。你是故意让自己离群索居的吗?你的工作环境不容许面对面交流吗?你有没有可以倾诉的亲朋好友或至爱?

If the answer to any of these is negative, it's time to take positive steps tocorrect that.

如果以上问题的答案都比较消极,那你得采取积极行动进行改正了。

Join a dating site. Get the contact information for your cousinyou haven't talked to since adolescence.

注册一个约会网站吧。想办法联系自从长大后就没讲过话的表亲吧。

Ask thatserver at the local diner if she's free for dinner onenight. Even if the answer is no, you're taking positivesteps to alleviate your loneliness.

问问附近餐厅的服务员今晚有没有空一起吃个饭吧。就算被拒绝,至少你也在积极克服孤独了。
