How to Stay Social While in a Long Distance Relationship
The key ingredient to avoiding loneliness and not losing your head while waiting patiently for that daily phone call from your significant other, is to stay social.
It is important to remain busy, stay involved with others, and appreciate the time spent with family and friends.
Keep in touch with the essence of who you are, the things that excite and motivate you - these are all the characteristics and attributes that caused your significant other to fall head over heels for you in the first place! Continuing to have contact with those who care about you is important.
We all have an an inherent need to communicate in person, to touch, smile together, and feel appreciated.
If these basic needs are ignored, you will have a tendency to isolate yourself, stagnate your life, and therefore cause harm to your long distance relationship.
If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable around cohabiting couples, try spending time with others that are single or with a fellow comrade who is also in a long distance relationship.
To help your distance relationship grow stronger and prosper, do not put your life on hold.
You may decide to become re-involved in a past hobby, or try something new that has caught your interest.
Engaging in a community activity, taking a class, or doing some volunteer work will help you maintain a fuller life.
As social creatures, we naturally gravitate towards the company and closeness of others.
Maintaining the companionship of friends can help to reinforce and fortify your long distance relationship, and minimize the feelings of loneliness and depression that will occasionally crop up.
Additionally, being apart from your partner can help you keep in touch with your individuality, something that can sometimes get lost when couples spend all of their time together.
