To OP. I mined for years. I wish I hadn't. I played solo for years. I wish I hadn't. ISK are nice and all, but fun is the real currency of the game, and to be honest there is a glass ceiling on how much fun you can have playing alone. To really unlock the good fun you will have to play with others. Given the nature of the community you will have to do some sifting through myriad misfits, miscreants and nogoodniks in order to find the exact others that will make your game experience the most fulfilling, but the end result is worth it.
Get out there and meet people, talk to them, shoot at them, get shot at by them, interact. You'll find the game much more rewarding that way. And for the love of all that is unholy, seriously consider laying off the mining... it is a necessary evil, but too much is bad for the soul. |

Uh couldn't you talk to people or something? We still have local, you know. Or send EVE-mails and convos to random people. Or just start shooting random people.
I promise you, you won't feel alone anymore. |

Go to shop buy alcohol.
Go back to mining.
Go back to shop buy more alcohol.
Go back to mining, rant at the asteroids, other miners, mouse, keyboard etc..
Crawl back to shop, try to chat up the first person you fancy
Go back to mining, pass out and repeat the next day.
or with the remote possibility you chat someone up.
Buy alcohol for the 2 of you.
Do not use contraceptives.
Sell your computer to buy a pram.
After 20 years of the same person moaning at you the thought of spending all day every day quietly mining will seem like paradise, enjoy it while you can. |

But yeah no one enjoys mining. It's something you do while making dinner, taking a crap, or arguing on EVE forums. |

Lies. Only BAD drugs make mining fun. The best drugs can accomplish when it comes to mining is to silence the voices of the asteroids telling you to kill your fellow miners to save them from this living hell.... and those only work for so long. |

Nah, I don't think it's the mining though, he just needs to make some friends. They say dogs make great friends... but I don't really believe that. How many of your friends have you neutered?

No.
In fact, such a comment is so absurd, it must be a troll...

Hi ... assuming this post wasn't a troll ... which seems all too likely.
There are lots of things to do in EVE. Lots of solo things and lots of group things. If you are lonely then join an active corporation or alliance that has a teamspeak/ventrilo/mumble server for voice chat.
You can find corporations that focus on PVE, PVP, Wormholes, Industry ... and any other combination.
I've always found mining to be boring for example :) ... others seem to love it. Some folks can't stand mission running. Wormhole life offers access to a variety of content all at once. Good group activities include fleets for PVP roams, defence fleets against wardecs, fleets for PVE content ... missions or boosted mining fleets.
The biggest issue is that if you want group activities, you need to go looking for them since they won't usually just happen.
---
By the way ... renting T1 frigates to newbies is a business model doomed to failure since after running the tutorial missions or running missions/mining for a week they should be able to buy whatever T1 frigates they like. It doesn't really offer any value but you charge fees for it ... so taking advantage of real new players who might think it is worthwhile is a scam of sorts even if you are offering some value in exchange for isk. Also, as far as I know the collateral is lost as soon as someone opens a courier contract container/package. So as soon as someone takes out their rental ship to use it ... they lose the collateral as well ... which you have probably set at the value of the ship ... so your rental "deal" is probably charging folks 50k isk over the cost of the frigate to "rent" which is certainly a scam. |

PvE in EVE is a farm system. That includes mining. If you have a solitary feeling while doing it, you are doing it right.
Once you feel you have enough in the bank to graduate out of that, go find out how intrusive EVE can be. The solitude won't seem all bad at that point. |

Move to low sec. Join a corp that lives there. Liquidate all high sec assets.
I station spun for 2 years and did a L4 grind to make some isk and get jump clones without using a service...I was so bored. After I moved to low sec I am having a ton of fun and excited about logging in.
Most corps have free freight services so you can just plant an alt in Jita and sell all the loot you earn. |

The solution to your problem is simple. Join a wormhole corporation
I have one in particular in mind

Eve is a cold dark space sim where it is truly everyone vs. everyone.
You have to create your own content. Run missions with the goal of getting to lvl IVs.
or
My advice, find a ~30-50 man corp that does what you are leaning towards wanting to do, be it mining, missions, wormholes or just straight up ISK sucking pvp. You will soon find that you are logging in more to chat with friends than to actually accomplish something, but when you and your friends have goals, it is even better.
I felt like you for the first 3 years of the game until I found a great group of players, experienced and noob. I still chat with many of them on a daily basis even though we have all gone in many different directions corp/activity wise. tbh I'd consider them to be among my best friends, and I've never personally met any of them. They range from east coast US to the Netherlands and other areas of Europe.
This game will crush your soul over time if you don't actively work towards something with like-minded players. FW is a great way to go as well.
