Communication is the key. No one wants to be lonely but if you talk so many people, make friends, or go out with them. I am pretty sure you will do the best thing you want :=)

The best way to get over loneliness is to write down your feelings. Maybe even draw. I find expressing a great way to feel better.

I have found that the best way to get over loneliness is to surround yourself with people who you are comfortable and close with. if it isn't feasible to be around people then reach out, either by text or call, and just talk to someone. It doesn't have to be a long or deep convo, but just reaching out can do a lot!

Loneliness is a natural part of life. We all need to feel some sense of connection with others. When that's lacking, loneliness arises to remind us that it's time to get out there and build or strengthen those connections.
Unfortunately, depression often sucks away the will to be around other people. At a time when you need it the most, depression tells you that you're unworthy of human connection, or that you shouldn't let yourself be a burden to others.
One way to manage loneliness when you're depressed is to volunteer with other people. Volunteering is a way to get some social interaction with a clear purpose (helping others) in a structured setting. It can also help lift your mood to know that you're doing some good.
If you've been feeling lonely for a long time, spending more time with other people might not make a difference right away. Try not to be discouraged. Keep putting yourself out there. Sooner or later, you will start feeling reconnected and the loneliness will fade.

Find someone who you can be open with and connect with other people if you don't have any. Sometimes all you need is a bit of courage to talk to someone. Once you find someone you can trust and be open with they're like a friend for life the you should treasure and appreciate, because just like shooting stars they only come so often.

Spend time with the family and friends that support and love you. Find a hobby that you're passionate about and helps pass the time. Listen to music and dance till your feet hurt! Talk to someone that will listen.

I usually find a song that gives me comfort in my time of loneliness. If that doesn't help, I write it out, either as a venting paragraph or a poem. I find that it helps me focus my emotions.
