5 Ways to Help Introverts Keep From Becoming Lonely
Introverts love their alone time, and socializing is draining for many of them, because a lot
of it simply feels like a pointless chit-chat.
But the needs of solitude, also have the potential to turn into harmful social isolation.
So, how much time alone is too much time alone?
How do you know when you've crossed the line from delightful aloneness to fretful loneliness?

1.
Pay attention to how aloneness makes you feel.
This is the Number One piece of advice.
The amount of time one can spend alone while still feeling perfectly happy varies from
person to person; for introverts, this amount of time can be substantial.
Monitoring your own individual feelings about the amount of time you're spending alone
is the best way to know when you've crossed the line from tranquil to lonely.
If you choose to be diligent about this effort, keep a regular log of how your aloneness is
making you feel.
Once a day, on a scale of 1 to 10, rate how happy you feel with the amount of aloneness
you've experienced that day.
2.
Focus on hanging out one-on-one or in small groups.
Many introverts strongly prefer socializing with just one other person or in small groups.
They tend to dislike a lot of stimulation, so when they attend a gathering at which large
numbers of people buzz around them, they're likely to leave feeling more distressed than
when they arrived.
One-on-one or small group interactions, on the other hand, are excellent for staving
off introvert loneliness because they provide all the benefits of socializing without the
overstimulation.
3.
If attending a large gathering, set expectations about when you will leave.
It's a bit of an introvert's nightmare to go to a large social gathering (especially
if you don't know anyone) without any definite endpoint in sight.
Some people feel an anticipatory anxiety around social gatherings that make them prone to
flake out, not because they don't want to be included, but because they're genuinely
anxious.
One of the best ways to mitigate anxiety around large gatherings is to make clear, both to
yourself and to whomever else might be invested, what time you need to leave.
Not only will this prevent you from inappropriately ghosting early in the evening, but your host
will appreciate that you came for as long as you could.
4.
Keep to a weekly quota of social interaction.
Some introverts have wiped social interaction off their calendars altogether, while others
feel overwhelmed by the volume of social gatherings they're expected to attend.
A good way to strike a balance between solitude and socializing, no matter which end of the
spectrum you're on is to set a weekly quota.
Let's say you decide to hold yourself to two social interactions per week.
If you currently have no events scheduled, this will prompt you to reach out and start
inviting people into your life.
If you receive many invitations each week, this gives you permission to attend only the
one or two you're most excited about, and to turn down the rest.
5.
Stay smart about your online socializing.
When you find real-life interaction draining, it can be tempting to shift your entire social
world online.
The Internet allows you to chat with people when you feel like it, yet disengage at any
moment.
It creates the feeling that you have social support even when you're alone.
No doubt this is an intriguing prospect for many introverts.
But don't rely too heavily on the Internet (or your smartphone) to fulfill your desire
for togetherness.
It's profoundly difficult to get to know another person well through a device.
And if, at any point the person you thought you knew turns out to be a fraud, you'll
likely end up lonelier than you were before you initiated contact.
Well, that's the 5 tips to help introverts keep from becoming lonely according to Kira
Asatryan.
