The natural human condition is lonliness. Your condition is normal. This problem seems to peak at around 20 years of age for a number of reasons and at that age you can't even get into a bar to fool yourself into thinking you aren't lonely for even a short period of time. Yes, this is why people go to bars...to temporarily feel connected to other people. It's not "real" but at least it offers a respite from the lonliness. It's also why many others run off to the military or delay life by staying in college despite any direction of study. Only a few are actually going to college with a specific goal for which they have a passion.
There is something you can do though to cure this. Join an organization that helps people. Do the Peace Corp thing. Be a big brother or sister, help kids, get out and connect with people in a way that you never have before. You will be AMAZED at how quickly lonliness subsides when you are handing out food and water bottles to hundreds of kids who are starving and don't speak a bit of English!
