Loneliness can occur when you feel unloved. If you feel like you are not getting the attention you need from others, it is important to let them know. Be specific in telling them what would help you feel better. Let them know if you would like to see them more often. Usually making plans for a certain date and time will yield better results than being vague.
Older adults have wonderful abilities to share with others.
Skills that you take for granted may be just the ones your local volunteer center is looking for. If you are feeling lonely, try a visit to a volunteer center.
