Not sure if this counts as "alone" but you could schedule regular skype video calls with friends/relatives. It took some doing, but I'm a lot happier living alone when I still see and talk to my family a few times a week. I'm actually surprised more people don't do this.

Thank you for your advice, but I don't think that's exactly what I'm looking for. Rather than seek out human contact because I'm not comfortable being alone, I would rather be comfortable being alone and then seek out human contact for its own sake.
