Personally, I feel that companionship is necessary for survival. Babies need it. Adults need it. Even a simple hug can mean the world.

Below are ways to give companionship. Most of the ways are free to give. Won’t you take a peek?

#1 Taking them to the grocery store

I would appreciate it so much when my mother would take me to the stores. We would bond so much. She liked the good stuff. I wanted the cheap stuff. We would comically disagree!

2. Watching television with them

I rarely watch television, but when I would visit my loved ones, the television was on alot. So, whether the news or game shows, I would watch with them.

3. Listening to music with them

Every Sunday, while preparing dinner and while having dinner, my mother would play music. For example, Bobby Vinton.

4. Giving them a present

Why not buy them a flower so that they make think of you while you are away?

5. Doing a craft together

Do adult coloring. This is scientifically proven to ease stress.

6. Cooking with them

Let them teach you a recipe. You teach them a recipe. A win-win situation!

7. Taking them to church

Maybe they cannot drive to church.

8. Having drinks together

Whether over coffee, wine or beer, etc., have drinks on certain days or evenings and talk away!

9. Playing cards with them. Playing board games with them

Games can stimulate your mind!

10. Fix their hair

My mother would ask me late at night to play with her hair. She always said that it relaxed her. So, I would get out the curling iron and pick and play hairdresser.

11. Do their makeup

As much as my mother disliked, I just had to fix her makeup! I like the dramatic look when it comes to applying makeup. Anyway, I think that she looked beautiful.

12. Help them with their homework

When I was in high school, I had to take up a foreign language. I would have to bring home Spanish dialogue to practice. So, guess who my dialogue partner was? You guessed it! My mother!

13. Help them with their medicine

Maybe your companion has confusing medicine., as this can often be a problem.

14. Celebrate their birthday

Is their birthday often forgotten? Bake them a cake!

15. Have them over for the holidays

Are you going to have a ton of food and drink at your house for the holidays? Invite them!

16. Finally, make sure to wear face masks and sanitize your hands!

What do most of these cost you? Not a dime.

Joyce Meyer often says that if you are ever in a funk, to do something good for someone else and you can automatically feel better.

I guess that you can call these Random Acts of Kindness. Maybe even Pay It Forward.

I hope this list helps you!

You give examples with your family but almost all of it can be done with friends to.
I watch games with my friends or just talk with them. Even I am not good 'shoulder for crying', I can be at least something like that.

I really do not have very many friends to hang out with. My 2 roommates are quite enough to handle. Most of my friends are online.

You have a strong point. Companionship is a very important thing for survival because if a person lives alone, life becomes difficult. Companionship brings support, love, and morale to move forward. Without it, a person finds themselves struggling and stressed. Companionship makes you know that someone is listening to you and holding you tightly. That is what remains the power of life and makes the community grow tight and people remain stable and positive vibes.

When I had a companion, I always made myself look pretty. I have kind-of let myself go.

However, I have recently lost 8 pounds and yesterday got a new hairstyle.

5. Doing a craft together

Do adult coloring. This is scientifically proven to ease stress.

Making crafts together is a very cool idea, it improves connection and also calms the mind. Adult coloring has been scientifically proven to reduce stress. It is like brushing your teeth with your soul. You paint and bad thoughts slowly melt away like ice in the sun.

It is like the story of Apollo who had his harp playing peaceful songs. Coloring becomes music for the eyes and hands. It gives you a chance to breathe and relieve the pressure of daily life. When you are with friends or family, you have fun together and stress goes away like the wind.
