总是一个人？孤单时你可以做的9件事

7. Get a pet

养一只宠物

A fuzzy animal like a cat, dog, or even a ferret makes a great companion and confers health benefits. Studies indicate that simply petting an animal reduces blood pressure, anxiety, and may actually be an effective non-medical treatment for certain forms of depression. In addition, the playful antics of a puppy or kitten and the joy of training them to perform various tricks and tasks more than makes up for any inconvenience they may cause while housebreaking.

小猫小狗或雪貂这种毛茸茸的动物都是不错的伙伴，对人的健康很有好处。研究表明，抚摸动物能降低血压和焦虑，是治愈某些抑郁症状有效的非药物疗法。而且，小狗小猫憨态可掬，训练它们应对入室盗贼的各种把戏或任务也充满乐趣，这些足以让饲养它们而造成的种种不便可以忽略不计了。

If possible, choose a pet from the vast number of rescue animals in shelters around the world. You may just save a life, making you feel even happier about your choice and winning you a loyal companion you’re sure to cherish.

如果可以，就从世界各地的各大动物收容所中挑一只宠物吧。你不仅救了一条生命，还会为自己的选择而感到开心，并且又赢得了一个值得珍惜的忠诚伙伴。

8. Try to figure out what’s missing

弄明白错失了什么

The state of being alone simply means no one else is with you. Loneliness, especially when it’s a persistent state, is a warning sign that something essential is absent from your life. The first step to curing the problem is to figure out what’s missing. Do you isolate yourself, by accident or design? Do you work in a career that doesn’t allow for much one-on-one human interaction? Do you have any friends, family, or loved ones you can talk to?
