Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people.

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
I feel your pain. I've often been that person surrounded by people, but felt so alone. A lot of it for me was finally realizing that they aren't always going to come to me. Sometimes I have to take that initiative - take that first step to talk to them. I've also realized over the years, that many people have tried to be part of my life, but I pushed them away. Then I have the audacity to sit there and say, oh I'm so lonely, when it's actually me that pushed them away. So I've learned to open up a little. It has gone a long way in helping with the loneliness.
When I started doing that, I started to feel a little less lonely and a little more connected. I started out small. Just quick small talk or whatever it takes to get used to it, then you can open up and talk to people.
Hope that makes sense and helps you a bit.
There are many self help books that teach us how to love ourselves plus meditation also helps. I highly recommend any guided meditation from you tube.
Good luck
