One doesn't have to be alone to be lonely. One can have 1000 facebook friends and not have a real friend. In fact the more facebook friend one has, the lonelier one is likely to be. It is a sign of a desperate need to connect. One can pack one's schedule with parties, outings, and meetups and yet be totally alone. After all, why do you think your main character is lonely? Loneliness is a feeling that comes from mainly 2 things: 1) the desire to connect and the inability to do so, and 2) the feeling of envy of those who have formed those connections. With that in mind, you can introduce a TON of characters. And those characters can actually help you flesh out her feeling of isolation.
