that really depends on why you are lonely or alone. for some people, it might be a matter of expanding one's social sphere, developing hobbies and finding people with the same interests. for some, there might be the presence of social anxiety which might require clinical counselling.

thanks, damien, but i really want to how to not to be lonely in a collectivism country rather than individualism country, if ok? i am sure your advice will be working for the latter.
i think you are confusing two things. cultural environment is not monolithic by country. in other words, not everyone in china think the same way (as in collectivism). each individual can create the preferred environment surrounding the self, regardless of which country you are in.
