I know I never feel more alone than when I'm in a big crowd of people I don't know. I do find the occasional drive on a twisty road or a long bike ride by myself helps - it's the coming back to reality afterwards where it comes back........
I think what drives loneliness for many people is a lack of meaningful human interaction. Going to work and going through the motions doesn't count - I think people want to talk/interact with others and feel like it meant something.

All depends on the person. I'm an introvert. I need to be alone to get back to a sense of well being. Work and other social activities drain me considerably. Being alone in my big, dark, quiet house with no kids or wife around is bliss.
