Perhaps you think if someone is lonely, it’s their fault, or that since you’re so busy, you couldn’t possibly do anything to help. Loneliness can hit anyone from time to time, but if you’ve failed to help a lonely friend, here are some tips for doing better next time. It’s easy to ignore a friend’s loneliness, especially when you have a life full of people and you’re busy. You might even think it’s stupid to admit that you’re lonely. But being lonely doesn’t mean someone has few friends. There could be a number of reasons for this. Perhaps their close friends have moved away, perhaps something unexpected has pulled them away from some of their friends, or any number of things that can happen to anyone at any time. Another wrong belief is that lonely people just aren’t busy enough. Don’t say these things to a lonely friend: Lonely? Ha! I never get lonely! I’m so busy.Why don’t you have any friends?Oh, I’d love to have some quiet time as you have.I wish I were lonely, but my kids keep me running.You’ll be fine. You’ve got your kids/your dog/your job ...These statements make you sound smug ( 沾沾自喜的 ) and indifferent , even when you really want to help them.
