In my experience living alone is GOOD for your social life. It forces you to make plans with your friends, or, if you need to expand your social circle, to work on that.
When I shared a place, it was just too easy to kick back with a beer and watch TV with the people I shared with. The two problems with that were a) that it wasn't a very fulfilling activity and b) that they were just people I happened to be sharing with.
You can be lonely in a shared apartment and un-lonely living on your own. Personally I socialize way more now I live alone, and in a much richer way I think.
