Loneliness is a hard thing to deal with. I still say you should get a big stuffed cat to cuddle with when you feel a need for it. I bought myself about 5 large teddy bears at one time and used them for that. You can also try bringing your studies to a local social type place - like a book store for example - so perhaps you may "accidentally" become involved in conversation and/or friendship.
You are a wonderful person.

Thanks and I'm sorry for the late reply. I can connect with people easily online but struggle to do so in person.
A big reason why is due to poor social skills. I can appear well spoken when talking to people online but in person, I have had trouble talking to people.
It's weird because I have a strong technical background. I build computers, I have computer hacking knowledge, and I can figure out just about anything technical easily, but expect me to socialize and I outright struggle. Figuring out social queues, proper hand language, figuring out how to say what I'm trying to say without sounding like a complete idiot, knowing when to make eye contact with people and when not to, and not talking too fast, too slow, too loud, or too quietly at the right times are challenges that I've faced most of my life which makes it difficult for me to do basic adult things like finding employment or dating women, all be it one that I have been getting better at.
