None of these answers are very competant to the actual feeling.
The truth is, when youre lonley, no amount of activity is going to get rid of the feeling.
What you have to do, and this one i know having spent a good majority of my life feeling lonely, you figure out what it is you want, and you try to obtain it.
If you want more friends, go and try to find some. Hang out with your current friends- friends, and make more. If you want love, go on dating websites, put up a profile and actively seek someone, ask people out, if youre trying, you dont feel as lonely.
Dont just accept lonliness, find a way to like it, thats like being okay with being mediocre. You have to try. You might still feel a little lonely, but when you really do find it, it feels great, and you know you've earned the feeling.
But i do agree that in the mean time, a pet makes a wonderful companion.

A good way to cope with lonliness is to have a pet (cat, dog, bird, etc) to share your life with. If you like staying indoors, a cat or bird is great even a community fish tank is great, however, if you like walking and spending time outdoors, a dog is good company. I also found it better not to keep thinking about being alone and learn that some "alone" time is good. If you have a few good friends or siblings, share your time with them. Learn that being alone doesn't always mean lonely. Take care.

I have actually learned to enjoy being alone. I embrace it now.
Years ago I was alone and miserable. I hated every moment of it.
However, I developed a love for solitude over time. I really cannot say how.
I prefer my own company and absolutely love silence. I never feel lonely, alone, or incomplete. It is very refreshing and energizing. It is true peace.
Being alone most of the time has also served to make me a more sociable and friendly person when I am with others. I enjoy their company without trying to impress or gain approval. I am more relaxed and feel at ease just being myself. They are free to be themselves. They owe me nothing, and I owe nothing to them.
I find that I appreciate people more this way. I rarely get offended or upset now. I never worry about being hurt emotionally, as I once did. There are no more barriers around my heart. I am secure that I can live happily without being dependent on other people. It makes me free to laugh, live, and love unconditionally.
I cannot say it is for all people. I imagine there are many people who cannot be alone for any length of time.
I agree with "coolgem2" below. Loneliness is the affliction of young people.

I think it is a youth thing. When we are younger we are so accustomed to being around people all day at school. And we hardly spend time alone to get better acquainted with ourselves. You will treasure your alone time as you get older because you don't have to please anybody but yourself. I have always had a lot of friends and they do take up a lot of your time and energy. Through the years I have thinned out the friendships and my life is finally peaceful with a lot less stress. I am my best friend and take great pleasure in my own company & my 2 dogs. I am now older and wiser and extremely selective when making new friends. And no...I am not a crabby old guy. Yet!! LOL!!!!!

Take up hobbies and interests that involve you with other people.
Talk to people whenever you have a chance so you can socialise in every occasion.
Get out of the house and join in or try something new that you have never done.
See if people at work do things outside/after work.

You don't have to cope with loliness or depression. Go out, just take a walk, say "hi or how are you?" to people, smile, make some new friends, and invite them for a dinner or lunch at your home.
