1. Find Activities that you enjoy alone.

2. Start meditating. (Personally I recommend Hesychasm, but other things are fine as well. The point is to center you, mostly).

3. If it doesn't work out, realize you are never alone. God is always with you. Of course this is just my personal recommendation (The same reason I recommend Hesychasm).

4. If that isn't for you, and you really cannot be alone, join a club/ formal social group that brings you together with people for a purpose.

No one enjoys the feeling of being "lonely", I enjoy experiencing life and acting as an observer/consumer.

Go eat dinner alone at your favorite restaurant and just sit quietly with headphones in, listen to your favorite podcast (like Bill Burr's MMPC), order your favorite dish and dont bother focusing on anything else other than those two things. Dont feel embarassed about laughing to yourself, and just remember, no one gives a FUCK.

I watch livestreams on twitch, and try to be an active member of the stream I'm watching. Helps cut the loneliness.

If you feel lonely then just try to find some company. You shouldn't try to force yourself to enjoy being a loner, I've tried and it's useless and painful. I'm still a loner but I don't experience loneliness anymore because I came to hate anything social, but I'm not happy like this either.

this op. you can probably adjust and numb out to any life style, doesn't mean you'll like what's happened to you.

"They same humans are social animals, that they can't stand to live alone, but you can live pretty well by yourself. Sometimes instead of being alone in a group it's better to have real solitude to yourself." - faye valentine

All things in balance. If you feel lonely you need more meaningful time with friends and social contact that helps you believe you are liked and valued as a person. You can enjoy solitude, but everyone needs at least enough contact to sate that thirst. Perhaps you want to be alone because you're socially anxious, but nothing else will really help and you'll be and feel better for it.
