Maybe your loneliness is really depression? if that's the case go see a doc, it's amazing what professional help can do for a person.
It can be incredibly difficult to make friends past university. A lot of people and social groups are exclusive, judgmental and don't want to make new friends. I moved back to Calgary 5 years ago, lost my girlfriend when she went to Australia, lost my best friend when he went to Poland for University and moved here with pretty much no friends.

I joined 7 social groups, outdoor meetups, trying out bars, etc. It was insanely hard to make friends, so many people just are not open to new relationships and if you're on your own it can be near impossible to form new relationships even if you have fantastic social skills. Saying go out and make friends might actually be impossible in some scenarios.
