Loneliness isn't something that just goes away but keeping yourself busy and with lots of things to do is a good way of distracting yourself, try to meet friends and family as much as you can. Try to make new friends too

What's the best way to get over being thirsty when you're dehydrated? It's the same principle, except that with loneliness you have more time before you die of the lack of what you need.

You only think you're lonely. You don't have to be. Identify what kind of connection you want, then work to get that. You can do whatever you want, it's all your choice. Lonely is in your mind, you can end it immediately.

best way to get over being lonely is to go and socialize no matter how awkward or scary it really is, I think the best way to do it is to have face to face human interactions

Realize that loneliness is a feeling, not a fact.Reach out because loneliness is painful and can confuse you into thinking that you are a loser, an outcast. Notice your self deflating thoughts. Make a plan to fight the mental and emotional habits of loneliness.Focus on the needs and feelings of others, the less attention on your lonely thoughts and feelings. Always show up when meeting up with others.

you have to make sure there are a million people who feels just as lonely as you, so youre not alone with it. You are just as alone as you tell yourself you are. See the peaceful things in being alone. You can do whatever you want. Don't think about a boy and how lovely it would be if he lays next to you, look in the mirror. Tell yourself, that you are everything you need. And now, make yourself a beautiful day, do whatever you want.

In my experience, loneliness is best overcome by choosing to focus on the good things you've got going on. Maybe you read a chapter in that book thats been collecting dust on your shelf, or you made a particularly good meal recently. In life, you have to choose to appreciate yourself and the things you do for yourself. When I take the time to appreciate me, I feel less lonely and more content with myself.

I don't know if I have overcome it once and for all. But it feels much better after writing the thoughts down. Providing body with reasonable physical activity is also a must.

Have some human interaction - talk to people anonymously, invest in a penpal, do some volunteer work or get a pet.

I usually listen to some relaxing music and read or write. It manages to calm me down and eases away negativity. This usually nullifies my loneliness.
