How to deal with extreme loneliness??

Over the last few months I’ve really been digging deep into parts of myself to really figure out what the root of my addiction is and I really noticed that it was loneliness

It’s so weird it’s like yes I have a decent group of friends around me and I have an easy time having conversations with people and I can easily get along with a lot of people

But I still feel so so so alone and it’s like I crave a really deep and intimate connection and relationship with someone I even tried to date people and I love very deeply but the person I was talking too things between us didn’t work out we literally stopped talking last week so I’m kind of still dealing with the pain of that cause I was really into them but I also am trying to be patient and refocus on the journey and maybe just build new friendships but the dread and feeling of loneliness is what constantly has brought me back to square 1 and made me relapse over and over again for awhile

I’m not quite sure how to move through this area I’m trusting that God has better plans coming for me but yet I still feel like I’m struggling to be patient and the feeling is what has kept me stuck for the longest and I’m so exhausted from it what advice could u guys maybe give me ?
