Did you ever think to start to get involve into your environment? I think the cause of your loneliness is your issue with isolating yourself.
Did you ever thing to make friends? Hang out with them, do chat, visit new places. I think it's gonna work. But remember, it's just optional thing!^^

distract yourself, go find something to do, keep yourself active as possible. Try exercising, and you will feel better each day passing by.

I once received advice from someone I care deeply about, and he said "use your social support". Isolating yourself is a destructive thing, and I believe you should focus on maintaining friendships as a way of trying to relieve your lonely feelings.

Go out and find new friends. Don't go to bars tho, they are very bad to meet new peoples. Is it not the time to try joining some club or association for a new hobby ?

Try connecting to people. Don't isolate yourself. Everybody needs someone who loves them. Nobody can live without support from loved ones and don't forget to smile.😊

I feel the same way. I enjoy being alone, but find myself longing for friendship too. I ended up finding one friend that I can talk with and it curbs my appetite for friendship. Maybe that will work for you as well.

You have to find people who make you happy, who you can trust. Remember you can't depend on someone to make you happy, but you have to depend on yourself first

I try to do something that will remind me that people care about me, and that I care about them: often, it is through writing them postcards.
