Often
sadness is prolonged when
lonely. Being both
sad and
lonely is a tough
mental state to
break out of. Usually it is paired with
depression which simply adds
insult to
injury.
The best way to break someone out of this
condition is to
talk to them and
convince them to go have some
fun for awhile. Usually that
fun will require some added
attention on your part, so be sure to free up your
schedule ahead of time.
