Go to the supermarket and pick up good healthy food. At least you will feel better eating well. Smile and say hello to the check out person and bagger. Just doing that will change how you present yourself to people.

If you are physically able, join a gym or fitness center or sign up for a yoga class. Physical exercise could help if you do not have any injuries and you might meet someone.

The problem I had when I felt lonely is I wanted to find a best friend and what I could have done was start making acquaintances to develop my ability to relate to people.

These work for me but it is up to you to decide steps you want to take. @CANDC
And try to go to places that have/do things you're interested in; generally friends have something in common.
