Perfect therapy for people who need help. I would like to say, I never can imagine it could be possible to heal people like that

Take charge and go and make friends. Maybe get a new hobby or join a club or activity where you can meet new people.
Interactions with others is important, but it can sometimes be difficult to find the right people to be around. Try and figure out what kind of people you want to be around you, and use that list as a guideline as you continue to search for new interactions. Also, try making a list of new activities you are interested in, this will give you something to do and a potential source for new friendships.
Just carry on living, although life might seem pointless at the moment, you will find something that you love doing or someone who cares about you, that is worth living for.
Start by making friends and soon you'll making a life for yourself. Life is hard I know but you don't have to go threw it alone,

Popularity isn't everything. It's what your heart is like. Everyone's life matter including yours. You matter.

I'm sure you have a friend around you and you just don't realise it at the time. You could focus on your family or just yourself. Work on making yourself happy or do activities that you'll enjoy to keep busy and enjoy doing things for yourself
nervous or anxious can make you need to go to the bathroom frequently because the nervousness can make your stomach turn or hurt. When I get nervous or am excited or scared about being in public places, I tend to have to look for the nearest restroom.

The best thing to try is new things. Reading or researching is a great way to build interests. then you work on those interests and eventually you meet people who are interested in what youre interested in.

Focus on you,learn a new trade or skill. Start to make yourself content with being alone. Explore the possibility that you are alright by yourself and being lonley will no longer be an issue.

That is not true, you have your whole life ahead of you. You are a beautiful stunning person and you should never think like that.
If you feel like you have no life anymore, you should try to discover new things you may have an interest in. Through these things, you may even find new friends who share your interest!
I should search for something I have passion for and spend more time for it, like reading and learning new things

First try to relax and think . Ask yourself, What is really the problem ? How I can get more friends ? How I can add value to my life ? When you have found your answer, make a plan and follow it. Try to make solutions in order to do not get stuck in the obstacle . And realize that you can be happy even if you are alone and life can be worth if you add meaning to it.
We all feel a little down at times. At these times I recommend exclaiming your struggle, your emotions to people that stand close to you, that usually wouldn't come to you. This way people might pop up that show to care, and so you can establish a possible new relation, being it friend or just a chat-partner.
Find more friends!, If life doesn't comes to you, make life!, of course it's not easy, but it's totally worth it, and you will feel complete when you achieve this
Get a new hobby, try new things and go to different places and try to engage with people, you'll find more than often if you make one friend you make a whole bunch afterwards.

Make new friends. Go out of your comfort zone to find these friends. If you have a significant other, make them your bestfriend.
Try to find something that you enjoy doing. It can be a new hobby or going out that involves groups of people having same interests as you. Then probably you will meet new friends in the process.
It's never too late for a fresh start. Do more of what you like and what makes you happy. You can start going to any classes, so you can feel better with yourself and it will be an apportunity to make new friends. For example, start learning that language you always wanted to learn.
Think about what makes you you. Act like yourself, there are people out there who may not accept you for who you are, but there are people who will take you under their wing and let you out when you need to be free. There are people out there who will give you space when you need it. Find those people even if it may be hard, there are people like that out there. When you find friends, when you find trust in those friends, still, be aware. But when you find friends, when you trust them, tell them about your past, tell them. I know you might have those "friends" who leave you the moment you tell them, but you will find someone (or more then one) who will love you for who you are.

find what makes you happy, if needed try many things until you find what you enjoy. then you will definitely encounter people who share the same passion and that would be a good way to start new friendships.

Try to find new friends, the ones you lost (if their worth it) try to get them back, go out a bit more and maybe find a new hobby.
Expand your mind. Make friends make a life for yourself. This is not the end - it’s just the beginning. Open your mind to new things, maybe take on a new hobby to help this. Sometimes life can be dooming when we have no one to share it with and we feel as if we are alone. It’s just best to know what you are not - if you don’t have any family that you can speak to then contact local groups and get yourself out there and mingle amongst other people in and within your comfort zone. Make new friends.
