There is no surefire way to cope with loneliness. Some methods have higher success rates though. For example, hanging around with close friends who include you. Participate in numerous activities and/or clubs like swimming or hobbies of yours. What often works best is doing something that you love and that calms you down and trying to share it with someone else, hence the group activity suggestion.

I think to get out of loneliness you need proactiveness to find what makes you feel better and healthy. The best way to just reach out to a friend and speak up.Another good way would be to write about your feelings to vent if you are not comfortable about talking to someone

Find someone who you truly love and spend the day with them. Or, what i did was, get a pet, pets can solve loneliness very quickly.

There's really no "way" to get over something. You just do. I suggest surrounding yourself with the people you don't feel lonely with, and if you don't really have anyone (which is totally okay!) immerse yourself in the things you love to do. You're bound to meet some fun people you can relate to along the way!

I am a nerd, a big one at that. I have always felt quite at home at conventions with like-minded people. Now, I do get lonely quite often but when you have those people around that share your interests you find yourself forgetting about the world and 'geeking out' to your personal interests. List your interests, things you love doing that people might not realize can be a hobby. Gaming, art, music, tv shows, writing, etc these are all interests that in today's world with two clicks of a button you can find a whole community, meetup, etc that caters to it. Try to find that and absorb yourself in something that makes you happy and find others that are the same.

Hangout with friends or listen to music. Sometimes you just have to think positive thought. Go out and meet new people.

When I am lonely I know I am in a terrible place and that I need to get out of it, but I just can't bring myself to. It's almost as if I'm trying to isolate myself from people even more. This might apply to so many people.
If you're feeling lonely, the best way to get over it is to fight it head first. Even though you want to stay in bed and sleep for the rest of the day, force yourself to get up and attend that party. Surrounding yourself with people is the best remedy.
Being lonely also is the key way to convince yourself that you are alone in this world. That will never be true. You are never alone. Telling a family, friend or even reaching out to someone on 7 Cups about the way you are feeling can make the world of a difference. By letting someone know, they will help you. They will drag you out of bed, message you and all in alone remind you that they are there for you.
Fight the constant urge to isolate yourself by doing the exact opposite. Initiate meetings with people you love, and I assure you, at one point or another, you won't be feeling as alone as you were before.
There's also the issue of feeling alone despite that you are surrounded by people. This can be considered the worse kind of loneliness. From my experience, telling people you are feeling this way (as mentioned before) can help. Who knows, they might completely understand where you are coming from.
