How do you cope with loneliness?

I’ve been lonely my entire life, and it really hasn’t impacted me until now. I’m starting to realize that I genuinely have nobody to talk to. I’ve never had a relationship, and i lost touch with my few friends.

It’s hard. This realization hit me like a fucking truck. I hate myself more every day. My life feels routine and pointless. I go to work, come home, sleep. All by myself. Every day, I literally don’t talk to a single person. Not even at work, i work by myself. The isolation is starting to fuck with me i think. Hasn’t really affected until recently. I’ve been alone for years.

I doubt it will ever get better, so what are some ways to cope? The old shit like video games doesn’t really work anymore.
