I know the feeling. Sometimes you get stuck in a rut and do not know who to call. The best thing for you to do is take charge of your life and get involved with different social activities and/or groups. It could be anything from joining a book club, a gym, a sports team, taking dance classes, going to art openings or even film screenings. It all depends on your interests but sometimes all it takes is leaving your house and becoming comfortable doing things on your own. If you learn to enjoy the time spent on your own, then you will find that you will be meeting new people and making friends sooner than you can imagine! You must like yourself before opening up to others. Good luck!

Overcoming lonliness is probably one of the major issues people deal with.  Reaching out or reaching in can help.  Reaching out to see if there are those who are in some sort of situation in which you can be of help, and reaching in to find the good friend inside of you. 

Sometimes it is just a feeling that seems to come and overwhelm for a moment - a sudden rush that can overwhelm us, but it is important to realize that we are not lonely alone.  I am pretty sure there is not a soul who has not experienced this feeling. 

 Sometimes it is a good wake up call that instructs us to find things that keep us interested and busy, and to perhaps reach out (and in) to find more of the life we desire.

I would try to avoid being alone: go to places where you can find a crowd like a coffee shop or the movies. You never know there might be someone there who also feels the same way but you have to reach out. Try joining a club or activity where you can meet people. These events, added to getting in touch with your innerself, can help you realize that you are never alone:o)

Try Meetup.com, where you can find different groups for all kinds of different interests like reading, outdoor activities, nightlife, politics, vegetarianism, culture, etc..... in your area.  Great way to meet people.  Also, volunteer work is a wonderful way to meet people and be around people, while giving back.  Not only will you spend time with those you are helping, but you may also get to spend time with other people that share your interest in helping others.  And you'll feel so good you're helping others!  Get out there and connect with others!  Good luck to you. Cool  By the way, except for the hooker comment, there are some other good suggestions above.
