How is it possible for someone who enjoys being alone to feel lonely?

I'm a loner, most of my life i have a very limited friend circle and most of them have slipped away as the time and situation changed. It's quite obvious to say in the elephant in the room but it's just how I am. I'm an avid thinker, a great listener and empathetic.

I would say a lot of people enjoy being alone out of a desire to escape social drama and not because they are comfortable living their lives without emotional connections with others. They want friends but they have not found people who satisfy their expectations of what they want from a friend.

True, now it makes me realise the heaven we speak about is nothing but to be around like minded people and grow together.

We are designed to spread, reproduce, and take dominion over the fish of seas, birds of the air, and all the earth. We are not intelligently designed to be alone. If COVID has not made this self-evident, I done know what will.

Yes, loneliness can strike anyone at any time.
