How do you deal with loneliness?

I recently broke up with my gf of 3 years and now I feel like I dont have any friend. Can someone tell me how to cope with the loneliness?

Maybe by doing something productive, a hobby or keeping yourself busy. But I do know some people that says that one has to wallow in sorrow after a break up... like something you can't avoid.

Exercising is a great way to overcome lonliness, with or around people like in a gym though. This helps me.

Drink.

Drink.

I wouldn't recommend that at all.

The pain should go away gradually. You'll might feel like shit for a long while, but it can only get better. Taking your mind off it in some way, like other people suggested, might help.
