Lonely People Do Things Which Perpetuate Their Loneliness:

  • Get discouraged, lose their sense of desire and motivation to get involved in new situations
  • Isolate themselves from people and activities
  • Become too quickly and deeply involved with other people and activities without evaluating the consequences of their involvement, such as high risk situations for using again
  • Adopt an “anyone is better than no one” attitude and later find themselves in unsatisfying relationships
