I'm alone but I'm not lonely. Those are 2 different things. I suggest following the advice from okiedoke and look for avenues to meet new friends. You do that and it'll help the loneliness.
I'm kinda the same way. I do try to make positive steps toward my goals year round.
My goals for 2024 are:
Take up another hobby.
Be kinder to everyone.
Live in the moment.
Grocery shop smarter.
Buy a scale.
Make better eating choices.
Move around more.
