Without reading other comments, I will say: Help Others, Uplift Others. 💯
It's been hard for myself since I've had MDD (a variety of depression) all my life. Also, it's gotten harder for the past few years as my Social Anxiety Disorder has become more severe. 🤦
Though to battle my SAD I still post a weekly vlog, it forces me to put myself out there. What helps me do THAT is while I film outside I try remembering good, kind examples of others who are able to do the same even while being silly. 😏
But overall, complimenting others online and even defending others I don't agree with on many topics, can help with combatting loneliness and depression. There's no need to call people names, and when someone is called a troll and attacked by people on "my side" for voicing a different opinion/experience it is better to remind (sternly at times) them they're being foolish in hurting others that aren't purposely offending. 😐 But that's just been my experiences the past decade or so.
Many people feel lonely. The way I see it, there are two different goals to avoid the feeling of loneliness, getting used to be alone in a positive way and finding company. You can go for both simultaneously.
In order to get used to be alone in a positive way, it's important to see if you've been stopping yourself from doing fun stuff only because there weren't friends to do them with. For example going to the cinema or a restaurant are activities some people relate to groups and they stop doing them when they are alone. Go out and do stuff you like whether people want to go with you or not. If you stop fun because of others that's when loneliness feels unbearable.
Another thing to enjoy loneliness is to start a creative project. A comic, a script, a book, a model of a building or a vehicle, etc. To be able to work on stuff like this and have a significant progress you need alone time more often, and that way beign alone might not feel so bad, might feel useful or handy.
Then, in order to find company... I don't know how is college where you live and for you, but if there's a party you can join, just join. I'd do that in college. For me it was easy because I was in a student residence, so we were a small crowd of people who were obviously a bit alone in the city (otherwise we would be sharing a flat with friends and not in a residence). But I can tell you every college relationship I had is dead now. Still, it was nice while it lasted.
More ways to meet people: going to events related to your interests, - a concert, film festival a comic convention - frequent places related to your interests - a sports bar if you like sports or a jazz one of you like jazz - engage in websites and forums related to your interests. Also if you like videogames, try playing multi-player games online, and entering forums related to the game to find buddies to play with, they could end up becoming friends if you always play with them.
This is a vary hard and can be a complex thing. The times we live in is no help. Some of the best friends I have right now in my life I oddly enough I have met them over a game. I plan to meet them in irl one day. I needed some money one time and they sent it to me. They have gotten me birthday gifts and all. I say this to show online friends can be there for you and give you support just like irl friends. We talk about every topic under the sun as well. Im just saying if you are into gaming that might be some place to find people to be around. Give it time though although most people are nice and good people not everyone can be called a friend. Better to have a few solid friends that you can give them your time then 100 friends that won't be there for you when things go down and you spread yourself to thin. Good luck on your road ahead. ^^
Yes you can’t survive and no matter where you are in life loneliness will showcase itself. It’s neither a bad or good thing it’s all about balance my friend. It’s good to be self sufficient but then again it’s also good to be sociable. If anything this app is a great way to start. Just use this app to open yourself up.

Join a club, theater, chemistry, physics. You'll make friends there. Forget all the popular crap, you haven't made a friend at a party so far, so move to smaller groups. Clubs with 10 people tops. Be open about what's going on, but that you'll help with the project the best you can. I had people like that I used when I needed grant money, I accomplished my objective and left the club/project with them closer to the other remaining members.
This will work only if you truly have no social media.
try and get matches on online dating and as soon as the girls ask you for your Instagram, tell them you don't have any of those. Watch them ghosting you and not replying to you.
it's better to be a loner than being in a relationship with an overgrown little girl.
as for friends - this is normal. I also don't have friends after university. Sure, we covered each others asses back then like soldiers would in a war but after that we simply moved on. i found it more likely to make friends at work.
Man it's hard I feel u... both mentally and emotionally.
All I know is that the less you ask your self that question the better. Go from loner to lone wolf.. adjust your attitude to improve your out understand your self.. get out of comfort zones.. are even willing to be some ones friend get a job or two. Show interest in others help people offer don't be choosy n jugdemental.. don't be stupid either accept it get good at it use it as a strength not a weakness
Entertain your self. People that know u will hurt you more that being alone ever will. Get a pet.. stay busy challenge your beliefs.. know you be sure... your imagination is better than mine . Figure it out.. lol
There's ways of getting out of it. You need to find someone who can crack your shell. Friends and family are helping me get it out of that shell! Recently I just started talking to people. I don't get tried as easily when I do socializing then when I didn't socialize. Because socializing used to exhaust me and drains me pretty quickly. Everybody has someone special out there also you're young too and you got plenty of time.
They can't. Doing life as a loner is a recipe to lose. Find a way to reach out. You are so young, don't end up living with regret. Get on meetup now, find some groups that have similar interests to your own and join.
Find groups that force you to be social. Maybe there is a group that teaches speech making. Or maybe there is group that tests your ability to socialize.
It’s doable if you’re able to enjoy your own company and content with your thoughts.
I’ve always been a social person but when I moved abroad, I knew no one and nothing. I was miserable for a whole year because I didn’t know where to go to even meet people. Then I realized why not enjoy my own company first before trying to bring people in. Never looked back. Vacation alone is amazing, dinners alone at fancy places, exploring, hiking. Literally the works. You just gotta be mentally prepared.
Well don't go to college. At college you have the problem of the grass is always greener because you compare yourself to everyone else. Without it though, you can feel a lot more normal.
So now, (before the pandemic) I go to this club like thing every week or so, and I meet and hang out with people there. I don't exactly have any friends, but the social interaction that I engage with on that casual basis is enough for me to feel alright.
If you're super lonely, you can pm me if you want to chat.
It takes adjustments to yourself. I became a loner over a decade ago, and I merely adjusted my viewpoint. I became happy with myself and who I am. I am still polite and civil at work and in public, but I no longer need other people in my life. If I find someone I truly connect with, that's good. If not, I move on.
I myself found it hard to make friends in college as I was shy and social anxiety. It sucks when people reject you cause of whatever reason like looks, etc.
Honestly if it wasn’t for my family I don’t know where I would be right now. I was around people when I was in school but when I went to college everything changed. I couldn’t take it anymore so I stopped going to college.
There's nothing wrong with that. I was a loner back in high school. I didn't have so many friends even now, but I survived and still surviving. I can count my friends with one hand, but these friends are real.
Talk to people. Make friends online. Join a club. You have options.
I do it by playing video games or finding a distraction. Or just not think about how lonely it is honestly
There's no easy answer. Its like exercising. The more you talk to people the better you get at it. And the more likely you find long time friends based on interests.
Same for love by the way. Befriend as many girls as possible. Trust me.
What are you aiming for guy friends or a girlfriend or girls who would be only friends?
You learn to focus on and do things that make YOU happy.
It's perfectly possible if you prefer your own company.
Because we born as a loner and get use to it
Maybe join a club
