Everyone is lonely, it’s nobody’s fault unless you want to blame society as a whole which will get you nowhere.

I don't see anything wrong with blaming society as a whole. There are definitely general problems with it at all times. Like in Nazi Germany or, say, Victorian England and any other time and place, each in its own way.

This phrase feels as if you are putting yourself on the place of "society" to feel strong and the person you are addressing on the place of somebody opposing it.

If they feel that too, then sure as hell they won't listen to you if they have dignity.

And most importantly, never expect someone to like you in any way, no one is obligated to you.

This works both ways.

I don't mean to put myself in the place of anything - I just meant that the better course of action is to find improvement rather than fault. It's a situation where being able to put the blame on something does nothing to improve the situation. We're lonely because there are too many people is all.

There's a lot of people at fault for things in my life and if I worried about blaming them, I wouldn't have had the time to get educated and grow as a human so that I could move past the things they are at fault, I was just trying to broaden that idea into something more general.

Ah. Then I'd say that dealing in blame is emotionally the wrong thing to do for long in any direction. Only dealing in duty and correctness is worse. Dealing in wishes and dreams is what helps me when I remember about attitude.
