I made a website for lonely people, and got >100 people to log their locations
I was very lonely for my college years because I lived in a religious uni that was far away from any city, partly because the mission school I went to (went to school outside of America) offered tuition scholarships to go there. Within the first year of leaving to an actual city, I lost my virginity, had my first successful relationship, and generally found my place in the world. People underestimate how much mundane things like "changing your location" can do about loneliness (hint: cities are much better than rural and suburban places for that kind of thing)
