How to cope with loneliness during the holidays
Accept your feelings.
Instead of avoiding or denying your feelings, accept them as they are. Consider exploring the possible reasons that you feel lonely.

OPT: A. Are you away from your family for the holidays due to work or living out of the area? Did you have a recent break-up? Being honest with yourself will help you cope better. Put into words the most likely reasons for your loneliness. B. Spend time with friends and family who provide comfort for you and offer to talk about any issues that may be bothering you. It may feel like an uncomfortable moment when you try to avoid giving your friends more socialization or spending less time with others. C. Talking with your friends about your feelings, or talking to a guidance counselor are some examples of sorts of social avoidance. Don't accept that every single reason you have to fear loneliness is bad. D. You might be feeling lonely when you first come to terms with the difficulties you have with the process. Other people find it difficult to deal with the holidays and their depression, and in most cases, that's okay.
