I feel alone in this
Practising alone is genuinely hard, and it is not a sign that you are doing it wrong. Several of the people the Quran honours most were, at points, entirely on their own.

What Allah says
Quran
إِلَّا تَنصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِذْ أَخْرَجَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ثَانِىَ ٱثْنَيْنِ إِذْ هُمَا فِى ٱلْغَارِ إِذْ يَقُولُ لِصَـٰحِبِهِۦ لَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَنَا ۖ فَأَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُۥ عَلَيْهِ وَأَيَّدَهُۥ بِجُنُودٍ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ٱلسُّفْلَىٰ ۗ وَكَلِمَةُ ٱللَّهِ هِىَ ٱلْعُلْيَا ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
If you do not aid him [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)] - Allāh has already aided him when those who disbelieved had driven him out [of Makkah] as one of two, when they were in the cave and he [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] said to his companion, "Do not grieve; indeed Allāh is with us." And Allāh sent down His tranquility upon him and supported him with soldiers [i.e., angels] you did not see and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the word of Allāh - that is the highest. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.
Reference · Quran 9:40 — translation by Saheeh International
What this is saying
The verse recalls a moment of hiding with one companion and being told not to grieve, because Allah is with them. It is a small sentence said in a genuinely frightening situation, and the comfort offered is presence rather than rescue.

Something small you can do
- Find one Muslim you can message. One is enough to change this.
- Visit a mosque once, even briefly. You do not need to know anyone.
- Read the story of the People of the Cave — young people who had only each other.
Alongside this
If loneliness has become something heavier — if you are struggling to function, or having thoughts of harming yourself — please speak to a doctor or a mental health professional. That is not a failure of faith, and a website is not the right help for it.
You are not expected to fix this today.
