How to face loneliness?

I’ve had ego death experiences multiple times but only on psychedelics and it’s always love and infinity but when I am back in my ego it’s just feels like infinite loneliness rather than love. 

If I was in your position - I would sit with that loneliness. Write out all that comes with it. There will be many things, I suspect.

The ego, or self, is really sneaky. It doesn't want us to notice it.

Sometimes that feeling of loneliness is coming up as a way for it to hide and never make you look in the lonely feeling. If you don't investigate that part - the ego can remain and be alive. If you would like a personal anecdote - I found more of my ego within boredom, loneliness and the mundane than anywhere else. I followed this path and it lead to big 'no self' realisations. AND THEN! There were more turds to be found - once I was fully cognizant of the illusory ego in lucid states - I begun attaching identity to the 'no self' ego. So my ego was fooling me it was gone by identifying with the thought I had no ego... It was simply hiding in a new place...

'Ha-HA! Tash! I can make you stop looking for me by fooling you into believing I am dead!'

In my experience, it has been a constant little game of finding where the 'self' has gone and identified with something else. Because the moment I find a new piece, not only is it likely there is more - but more ego can form simultaneously. 

Learning to surrender might assist you - surrendering to loneliness. You might be suffering more simply fighting it.

Anyway, just some of my weird experiences with this stuff

@TheGod Try to sit alone in a room with yourself. Feel through the feelings of loneliness and see it go away the moment you confront it. You had a great realisation that you and we all are escaping from being alone in other words trying to fill the void that we should let it be there.

Have you practiced meditation for 20 minutes? Just wanted to ask you.
