Jason,
Everyone is lonely sometimes and that doesn't make you a bad or unworthy person.
I could be wrong but I sometimes think people that are lonely a lot don't seek frienships actively. Maybe they're too scared of being rejected or something. Try and not worry too much and maybe you'll make more friends or meet a nice girl.
Have a Merry Christmas.
I constantly feel lonely too. I only have 4 close friends and 3 of them are really immature so I don't spend a lot of time with them. At least I have a cat to keep me company

I don't think I've ever been "lonely". I'm alone a fair amount, but that is entirely by choice. I thrive in solitude and get really antsy and unpleasant when I socialize too much and don't get enough down time (like, I don't know...the effing holidays. This whole month feels like one party after another party after a show after a dinner after another party 
).
Plus, I have cats.

Dude...I've felt lonely even when I had my dog with me, even after playing, walking and taking him around town.
I used to be alone a lot. Lonely might be too strong a word. Bored would be a better word for me when I was still working. But tide has turned since going back to school. I've mentioned this for most of 2009 that this year has been magical for me with my fiancee, the ball rolling as I'm finished with my first year working toward my second BA degree. My routine is so different from when my first time in college that it leaves me wondering how I got by back then.

This. I like socializing and need it to a degree but I hate December for this very reason. Weekends without social obligations are amazing.
I feel lonely quite a bit. Especially now after losing my girlfriend last summer. All my family has passed away, so I don't even have that. I'm not really up for changing it though, I think I'm better off by myself, and it's something I should pursue getting used to.
Thumbs up for the internet though.

Here here! I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I love all of you, seriously.
Yes i'm lonely quite often. I try not to dwell on it because then i would succumb to all sorts of depression.

It's never a bad idea.
Agreed. I have my little black lab mix, and she's the apple of my eye, but I am still very lonely. Bone achingly, desolate landscape, makes the middle of the antarctic feel like New York City on Black Friday, lonely. The Phantom of the Opera has a facebook page and is a swinging bachelor by comparison, lonely.
Yep. I have succumbed many times to depression, then anger, then rage, then bitterness, then depression again. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING good comes from dwelling on one's own loneliness.

There's nothing worse than when you're alone and you start to contemplate your loneliness. No fun ever comes from deep introspection.

I like being alone sometimes but too much of it gets to me. I don't have many friends (all of 1 rl and about 5 online) and I get lonely at times...
You'll never feel lonely with a cat around you, you just feel unworthy and vaguely clumsy. At least, I do.
It's amazing how cats can belittle you with a simple look.
Is it wrong of me to say that I wish I was just a little bit lonely? I work in an office full of people, I have a wife and two kids, plus a dog, and I volunteer for my son's Cub Scout pack. Everytime I turn around there is someone there, usually needing something from me.
I usually refuse to go to lunch with people anymore just so I can have some 'Kirby time'.
For everyone that's lonely, please go volunteer somewhere: Animal shelters, hospitals, schools, churches, homeless shelters (Soap Kitchens, if you're MadBaggins). You'll help people, get out of the house, and make yourself feel better.
