I could have written a lot of your post, to be honest. I don’t see it as ‘loneliness’, because that implies you feel alone when you’d rather not be - it’s more being comfortable with your own company, or enjoying solitude.
It used to be like a taboo to say I didn’t really need friends (because there’s always one person who doesn’t get it and criticises) but aside from choosing ‘quality’ over quantity (people who’s values align with yours etc), it’s ok to not be a social butterfly if that genuinely isn’t who you are - everyone has different social needs, and these needs aren’t totally static either. As long as you’re not isolating out of social fear (which it doesn’t sound like you are), then it’s fine.
