The result of this is that these people end up feeling lonely and unhappy which could lead to depression and other health problems.

Engage in activities that cheer you up: You are the only person that can identify what makes you happy. Perhaps it could be going out with friends and doing a joint activity or just having a laugh whilst relaxing.

Just Laugh: I remember someone asking a seriousaudience what having a laugh was like and if anyone was bold to demonstrate. This sounded a really silly idea, but I was surprised at what happened next, not only did this person "infect" everyone elsewith laughter,but there was a different atmosphere as a result of this. It was possible for people to interact and learn more together after this.
