If you're lonely, a great way to make friends is starting with just 'hi' instead of months of torture.

Go out and talk to people. Ask them about their hobbies and interests. Invite them to events you'll both enjoy. And don't just hide in your office all the time and only show yourself via loudspeaker, of course you'll be lonely if you're charging people to talk to you.

Your current method is a really ineffective way of combating loneliness. You're so fond of all these trials, have you ever played just a normal card game? My desire is to play a game of poker with Typhon.
