Order a call if you are lonely and sad. You can enjoy the call in stages. The three stages are: Before the Call, During the Call and After the Call.
Before the Call: Realize that the call is going to be something new in your life. You have probably never before done something like this before. That, in itself, relieves the boredom that comes with loneliness. Once you say to yourself, “Yes, I am finally going to deal with my loneliness” then it is much easier to get ready to enjoy the process. After you place this order it is quite O.K. find a quiet place and start anticipating the good things that are going to follow.
During the Call: During the call it is O.K. to tell the caller that you have been anticipating the call. Realize that the call is going to be for a limited length of time. If possible, split the length of the call between listening to the caller and talking. During the first call do whatever gives you the most satisfaction. Talking can provide as much relief to a lonely person and as listening. If it works for you, do admit to the caller that you are lonely. You may feel a release when you do that. It would be better for you if you tell your caller your real first name. Enjoy every minute of the call. The general idea is to be emotionally open to another person calling you. Remember, it is only a short pleasure, to be repeated or not, according to your desires.
After the Call: After the call, write down a summary of the call as best as you remember it. You can use the written summary later to re-live the call a few times. You will gain some insights into yourself by re-reading and re-living the call. Please don't expect the caller to remember the call details if you order a call from the caller again. After all, the caller may be engaged in many other activities between calls to you and cannot be expected to remember conversations in detail even if the conversations are very important to you. Remember, when good things happen, a lot of time is not what is needed. What is important is the quality of the experience during that short time.
