I don't get lonely. About 20 years ago, I decided to focus on something every time I felt a negative emotion. I did this extremely consistently, and worked most negative emotion out of my emotional repertoire in 3 or 4 years, and nearly completely in about 6 or 7 years. I have almost no negative emotion left in my emotional repertoire.
I'd study a wall, or a blade of grass. I'd thrust my attention on whatever I could find. You always have something you can focus on. I usually had a book with me.
However, I don't feel much positive emotion, possibly related, and I don't know that I necessarily recommend eliminating loneliness. That might work like cutting off the power to your smoke alarms--just kill the pain sensors and let the problem fester.
