He doesn't really feel emotions (generally I mean... he has schizoid) and it hurts too much because I'm hypersensitive and I was the only one trying for the entire relationship (SO HARD) to make it work. I have nobody to talk to about this because I'm very introverted and I have social anxiety. I'm weird, and I have a very hard time finding friends, especially since my interests are sort of strange. I'm going to try and put myself out there this week and cultivate some friendships but again it's really challenging for me. Can anyone give me any advice for being completely alone and having no one to talk to? I see a therapist once every 2 weeks and I write in my journal every day but I'm scared this loneliness will drive me into pickup up old, bad habits. Please, any tips you have are welcomed.

Sorry if this isn't the right place to put this, but I could really use some advice.
As a person who has spent a huge amount of time alone and felt lonely, I would suggest the thing not to do, namely to keep yourself isolated because no one will come and knock your door and break your loneliness. Just go out and be around people. Some people suggested to me meetup groups, and I'm currently signed up for different groups. I'm still not connected with anyone, but I guess it might take time to find the right group and the right person. Good luck
