Humans are social animals. Its part of your instinct to socialise. Lonliness is the instinct going "hey you need friends or no one gonna help you when the wolves come for you... Also we aint makin babies thats kind if a problem too" so...

Pretty much this.

I'm barely able to take care of myself; making a dog dependent on me would be cruel. I suppose it's a good idea long term though.

you can invest in extreme hobbies that make your life more than just a casual experience. Create your own video games, animations, build your own furniture etc.

of course it might be easier just to socialize.
