Somehow I appreciate loneliness and being with myself better than the average, but I can tell you that deep in my personality/ego/persona I crave truthful and meaningful contact that I only experienced a handful of times in my life.

I don't want to spend time with friends just doing nothing, this I can do alone. But not all people want to (or feel comfortable) go deep in conversation or other bond forming activity. I have higher regard to the person who I only saw once in a party but we felt like long time friends than some "friends" that I spent more time just mindlessly drinking and talking any standart subject that we both don't care about.
