Hey,
I hope this helps you to realize that being lonely is a concept of the mind. You are surrounded by people who care about you. However, you feel alone because they are not providing what you feel you need or want. Chances are, you are out there against everyone, instead of the opposite.
Ask yourself if what you want others to provide to you, is something that they are responsible for. This can be validation, love, security, sense of worth, appreciation, happiness, etc.
The truth is no one is responsible to provide that to you. You already have it within. We are what we seek.
Once you realize that you don't need anyone to provide you with what you seek, you won't feel lonely anymore. You can be around many people or around none at all, and you wouldn't feel lonely. Your attachments to needs, outcomes and interactions would go out the window.
You wouldn't look at interactions through the eyes of wanting. You wouldn't expect people to follow your every demand and expectation, rather you would see them for who they are. This does not mean you have to put up with second hand behavior, rather you accept others and appreciate them while honoring yourself.
No one owes you anything and you shouldn't expect that. You are responsible for what you do for others and for yourself.
Regards,
Diego
