how to deal with aloneness or loneliness

i'm nearly middle aged now and i have no other support system other than my elderly mother and father...i live alone in a flat.......i also deal with mental problems; a personality disorder....in my adult life i was unfortunate in that i never found any relationships or friendships...i lost contact with the friends of my long ago youth....and now, i get lonely and imagine people out there with families and relationships having fun...and me missed out on that.

anything you can suggest or say?

I would suggest keeping your brain busy and to not focus on you.
Call it hobbies if you want, but find something. games - stories - ideas to research - find a mystery to solve - take on a project. Don't let your mind be idle focusing on itself, on you.
