Hey, I don't know if you have similar feelings to me when I was lonely like this. So this would be what I would tell myself during the darkest chapters.
Being lonely isn't a social failing, or an indictment on your personality. Social isolation is becoming a huge problem in a lot of cultures. I don't think it's likely that all these people are unlikeable or unlovable. I don't know an easy fix, all I can say is be public with your interests and your enthusiasm for those interests can attract the right people. Stay strong. it's not easy, but it's worth it.
Cheers, Sunroc
