Ways To Keep Loneliness Away As You Get Older: New research shows that middle aged Americans are struggling with loneliness. If you put certain plans in place now, you can avoid that. Here are some ideas that will keep you socialized:

  • Volunteer: Engaging in volunteer work can provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment while also offering opportunities for social interaction and connection with others in the community.
  • Foster connections with neighbors: Get to know your neighbors and build a sense of community within your neighborhood. Initiating conversations, offering assistance or organizing social gatherings can help foster meaningful connections close to home.
  • Attend local events: Stay involved in community events, such as cultural festivals, art exhibits or educational workshops. These activities can provide opportunities to meet new people and engage in meaningful social interactions.
  • Stay physically active: Regular exercise not only benefits physical health but also improves mood and reduces feelings of loneliness. Consider participating in group fitness classes or outdoor activities with friends or acquaintances.
