Me too. I find myself doing mindless tasks when I'm alone to ignore the fact that I'm alone. The thing is, those mindless tasks don't feel productive to me and I feel I'm wasting time. A lot of the time, if I can, I'll be on call with someone and just not talk as I do something. Having someone who will be on call with you alone and not talk has really helped me when feeling alone. That's my "in between" ^^
