Its so common for people to feel lonely that people rarely think about the opposite situation and there doesn't seem to be a simple word for it in our language.
Loneliness implies not enough human interaction. How does one describe too much human interaction? None of the answers have addressed the issue of 'too much' yet.

Overwhelmed.
I feel completely overwhelmed by too much human interaction.
No extreme is good or healthy but, if I had to choose, I rather be lonely.
I'm a loner, always loved to be alone. I do like people, but it's difficult, for me, to have to live with too much people and/or with people around me all the time, especially when they're demanding for attention.

Anxiety. And I speak from experience. Having grown up in L.A., I now live in the backwoods of Oklahoma just to BE LONELY, so to speak. Keep in mind though, that loneliness is not so much being alone as it is the Fear of being alone. Peace and solitude can be achieved when alone, but not lonely. The World is so against privacy and introspection that if you seek it you will be called Anti-Social.

Good question!
I suggest 'diffused' as a possible one though not quite striking...... loneliness in my view is really a lack of the sense of belonging and too much of belonging should lead to diffusion.
But I do agree with you, there does not seem to be any perfect word right opposite of 'lonely'

it depends.if its lonely between people so the opposite is full people and if it was concerning love life so the opposite would be love and if it was lonely emotionally so the opposite would be happiness and satisfaction........
LONELY is just one word with so much deep meaning

the opposite of lonely is abundant.
Lonely means we are alone or feel alone.
Abundant means we are have many things to do or many friends to chat with or many person who love us sincerely.
