Maybe you can make a plan for something to do the next time you are lonely that would be more effective than hanging out in chat passively. Join a club or two? Go to movies? Go watch birds in a park? Are your hawks migrating? Cleaning house seems to work for some people (I'm definitely not one of them). Or maybe you can solicit suggestions here or from your pdoc. I don't think it matters what you choose so long as you have a plan and then follow it.
