Well for me I would find myself very quickly on this site or one similar. Carry myself to an AA meeting. Often going for walks can spark interaction between others and myself. Resulting in not feeling so alone. Sometimes I just have to busy myself with something. Doesn't matter what action makes for less introspection for me.

Spend time in self-improvement. Learn a new habit or get consistent with an old one.- reading novels, swimming, anything that one enjoys doing. And most importantly fill the lonely feeling with self-love :)

Humans are eternally alone, any feelings of togetherness and connectivity anyone has with another human being is a temporal illusion and will eventually come to an end. We are all alone but that doesn't mean we can't be alone together.

I would say, try and talk to random people, or if you feel shy, talk to random people using an app like Chatous with the topic being friendship. Chatous is a random chat room that connects you to someone based on shared interests or topics.

I like to get outside and be around people. A cafe, a public park, or a bookstore usually helps me feel connected. Also the internet is a great social outlet. Find a chatroom or a forum that has to do with something you love and connect.

If you have enough money you can buy some friends.
If you don't have money ,you can start appreciating your solitude and use the loneliness as a growth period.
