| I can understand where you're coming from.
Chances are, that feeling of loneliness? It's stemming from feelings of insecurity about yourself. I'm just going to assume that you've got a decent circle of friends and at least get out of the house occasionally - you've mentioned the gym and playing soccer. If, when you're out, you feel fine - then it's just insecurity from physically being alone. I had this until recently - whenever I was not around people, by feeling of loneliness skyrocketed. Now I'm significantly more secure in who I am, my life and all that, those feelings have dissapated.
If you're not happy with your friends and/or life, then fix it. Get out, go do courses, get experience, travel, go for a walk through your city. It doesn't need to cost a huge amount to do this. If you're not happy with your relationships, again - fix 'em. Maybe your just not connecting with the people in your life? This was my case - lots of people, but I didn't take notice of many of them. I had a serious case of social tunnel vision. What I did was get more in touch with the people in my life, hung out with them, partied with them. Go out and discover the people out there, make connections. It's actually not that hard - stuff like 'How to win friends and influence people' cover this.
On your question about sarging alone - I'm really not qualified to answer that right now due to not having the experience, BUT I can tell you to go out by yourself and get comfortable being with your own company. Go shopping alone. Go out for lunch alone in the mall. Sit down somewhere and watch the world without any phones or newspapers to distract you. If you want to sarge alone, you can't do it if you need the security of your friends to go out. Be able to amuse yourself. You might think how does this help my feelings of loneliness? If you're secure in who you are, then you won't need peoples validation all the time, and you will be able to spend time with nobody but yourself.
Hope this helps man.
