Article: When you are experiencing a crisis, the last thing you’ll want to do is socialize with others. But, that is exactly what you need to do. Perhaps start off small by going to see a movie, then build up to a social gathering.  Being around other people will help you to keep yourself busy and fight off the feelings of loneliness. Avoid comparing yourself with others when you go out. This can make you feel worse. An existential crisis may indicate that you are dissatisfied or frustrated with a certain part of your life. Try thinking about what the cause of your crisis was, and see if you can find ways to improve that element of your life.  For example, if you feel stuck in a dead-end job, it could be a sign that you need to get a new job. Set manageable goals for yourself, like teaching yourself a new skill or applying for a certain number of jobs each week. If you're uncertain about what to do, considering talking to a friend or a mental health professional. When you are in the midst of an existential crisis, it can feel as if you are all alone in the world with your problems. To take yourself out of this mindset, go out and pay attention to other people. Try to see if you can identify a problem they are having and how you might help.  In addition to putting your problems in perspective, helping others will make you feel happy. For example, if you see someone accidentally drop some items on the floor at a store, you might rush over and help them pick them up. This is a road that will only lead to negativity and crises, because someone else will always appear to have it better than you. If you find yourself thinking enviously about that celebrity or coworker, tell yourself “no.” Then, force yourself to think about what you actually have in common with that person. For example, instead of being jealous that a coworker gets to take a ski vacation, focus on the fact that they enjoy being outdoors like you do. A chaotic or dirty environment can help to spawn angry, negative feelings. Take charge of your space by organizing, mopping, vacuuming, and cleaning it. You might even go out and buy a new piece of furniture for the space. Invite other people over to help you organize. This will reduce the possibility of loneliness, too.

What is a summary?
Force yourself to go out and spend time with other people. Use the crisis to learn what you want to improve in your life. Remove the focus from yourself and place it on others. Stop comparing yourself to others. Clean up your room and surroundings.
