How do you deal with loneliness?

[Addax]

First I'd like to say that this forum is great and the fact that i can even ask such a question is a profound step for me.I have read a lot of the LOO and am still reading "A Wanderers Handbook".I just dont know how far I can progress if I keep getting hit with this profound loneliness.Its so hard to stay focused and remain motivated when I cannot connect deeply with another human.Most days are good but sometimes its just too much, like today.I try, I meditate and pray but that hole is still there.I have faith that I must have chosen this for myself but damn.
I grew up with some friends but as I woke up they stayed very asleep.At a certain point I knew I had to move on.I cant hang out in a bar and get drunk every weekend.My family has no clue so here i am alone.For the most part its fine being in my own world but it would be great to share it with someone.Its like you wake up to find your self in this amazing playground but theres no one to play with.I've had times when I thought I had overcome this loneliness but it always comes back.I live in a small town and im almost 30 so its hard to meet people much less someone cool.Do I have to accept that I most likely will not find someone to play this game with? Is that the lesson? If this is a catalyst I cannot fiqure what for.
Any help from fellow lonelys would be great.How do you cope? Or do you?
