Maxwell Maltz said, “If you make friends with yourself you will never be alone.” This means that you have to love yourself and enjoy your own company. Be happy with yourself and feel good about not needing to be with other people just to be happy. Make yourself your ideal friend. This is the first step to conquering your loneliness.

Loneliness is selfish by nature. To deal with this, you can go out and help others. You can go to charity institutions and foundations as a volunteer. Leila Mulla says that this is a positive distraction, converting the negative energy into something beneficial to those in need. A good insight came from Dag Hammarskjold. He said, "What makes loneliness an anguish is not that I have no one to share my burden, but this: I have only my own burden to bear."
Learn to accept your responsibilities. You can’t go on blaming others for your actions and for your choices. Seeing how you got yourself into the mess will help you sort things out, and find doable solutions to your problems. Focus on the positive things. Talk to a friend or keep a journal. The latter is a good way to express your feelings if you have no one to confide to. Finally, you can exercise. This distracts you, and releases endorphins that actually make you feel better.
