The method that really helped me deal with loneliness was to move in with a girlfriend who had a bit of things in common with me. Loneliness was a major reason I hated being single & wanted a relationship. Other things I've done were try to socialize online, work a lot when I was employed & management allowed me to work extra, & trying to get out the house more when I wasn't employed. Those things were more band-aid fixes though & I was still very depressed.

I don't. Its really upsetting. I never got over it even after a couple of decades.

Same. I'm in a big city working in a huge corporation with people everywhere. I'm never physically alone, but I feel like everyone's brain is different from mine. It's hard to bridge the gap.
