Craig recommended The Secret to me before the holidays and even though I had read it before, I thought it was worth revisiting. The book helped me realize I was manifesting a lot of my own misery (particularly at work) and once I stopped doing it, my work life significantly improved.
I also applied what I learned to other aspects of my life and I can honestly say I am much happier.
Anyway, I understand the lonliness and suffered a severe depression during the last half of 2010. Seeing a therapist helped immensely. But talking to good friends did as well. Eventually the dark clouds finally went away and I’m a stronger person for it.
Just know that you’re not alone and people are there to help if you let them. :)

I have bouts of loneliness every once in awhile – it’s better now than it was, say 6 months ago (getting over a particularly nasty depressive episode precipitated by an ugly breakup), but still once in awhile the big gray cloud rears its ugly head.
I’m an introvert by nature, so I have never been one for big crowds and constant socializing anyway, even when I’m feeling good. I second the poster who mentioned “being alone in a crowd” – I used to enjoy doing yoga, attending meditation classes (particularly helpful for me when I was in that funk; I continue with them to this day), going to museums, and going to the library. At least that way while you’re with other people, the focus is on individual people, as opposed to couples and families.
