Loneliness

I just wanted to add to what's already been mentioned, listening to podcasts helps, as hearing conversation makes it feel like you have company but aren't required to talk (though you could comment out loud). It's just about finding ones you like. (I quite like 'What's Up Docs', on BBC Sounds as Chris and Xand VT are quite funny together and share stuff about their lives too. One episode Xand had to run out as his wife was in labour.) It's not real people, but it does help as you can do it in your time, when you're doing other things like washing up. 

I hope you can feel a bit less lonely, they say we don't need company, but when you actually want some it feels so sad then you can't get it.

found a series on Spotify that gives facts about different animals - each is about half an hour long (or even less) - just got to pluck up the courage to listen!

Ohh what's it called? I started on an animal one today as I'm caught up on my other ones and have to wait on new episodes. We listened to a few episodes last October as it has Steve Backshall in it and we were going to his kids show (one of my daughters obsessions with his deadly animals).  It's good when you find one you like, I hope you enjoy it when you do give it a try.

It's called 'That's just wild', it seems to have a lot of adds, so I just click the skip forward button a few times till I'm past them. I'll check your one, I like that it has relax in the title too!
