Talking to your friends, and really 'listening' to what they have to say.
Or sharing your own 'real' thoughts with them, without couching them in polite tones.
Because one does so much of it in maintaining a 'public face' anyway.
Taking a walk on your own.
Or with a friend - on the beach, in the hills , in a park or even in your own neighbourhood.

| A walk on the beach (Muscat, Oman) |
Stepping into another person's shoes, and just for a moment realizing where they are coming from, and why they think, feel and behave the way they sometimes appear to (sometimes to your irritation, perhaps?)
Standing up for another person's rights, because you realize that they aren't able to get what they really, really deserve.
And having the courage to and persistence to ensure that you finish what you started.
Giving some of our time, and some of our enthusiasm to those are lonely.
For reaching out to a lonely person is probably the one of the things make us realise how thankful we really ought to be for all those who we have today.
