I tend to be more quiet and dont' make friends easily. During the week, I am busy with my work. On Saturday, I usually run errands, etc. Saturday evenings and Sundays are sometimes lonely for me.
Any suggestions on coping with loneliness?

I am on my own quite a bit becasue I have chronic health problem. I never feel lonely though. I have a very active mind. there is a million thing I like to do. I love talk radio and I call in sometimes. You could write to people on here or get a penpal, you could visit elderly people in nursig homes, you could get a second job, you could start a club like knitting or sewing if a girl, model making for guys, card circle. You could invite people over. But remember you are never alone because you always have yourself.

Your description of yourself sounds a lot like me. I too am busy with work on weekdays, and then I sometimes feel lonely on weekend nights.
If I'm at home on a weekend night and I feel lonely, I'll go out for a drive just to get out of the house. I'll drive to a part of town that's always busy with people on weekend nights.
You could try going out to certain places (like a movie theater) by yourself. That way, you'll be surrounded by people, and you won't be lonely at home. I've gone out to places by myself many times. I've even gone out to clubs by myself.

Reading helps me. And I enjoy communicating via e-mail with friends.
And quite frankly, even though this is not a politically correct answer (so to speak), I think a favorite TV show at times can help chase away the blues.

Start a hobby. Join a sailing club, or a mountaineering club. These guys love to talk, and have plenty of time to do that. Scuba diving is fun, and people who dive are usually relaxed and outgoing. If none of this suits you, what does? You must have some interests.

Volunteer work helps lots of people. Doing things that get you involved with people who share your intersts helps.
