The real problem loneliness is people don't want to admit they might be bad people because they do or may have done bad, stupid, crazy things and no sane person who isn't like them, wants anything to do with them, so they double down on toxicity and only repulse more people.

For example, people in parts of my neighborhood are criminal scumbag assholes and when I'm out running errands and shit they try to be like "What's up homie? What's good? How you doing, etc.?" and try to act friendly and strike up a conversation in passing when I'm just trying to go about my day and get the fuck away from them because they obvious want something from me and I'm not going to give them the chance to get / take it. So outside of romantic relationships and family people just stick to becoming friends via likemindedness and careers. It's hard to just make friends these days because there are a lot of bad people out there, and everyone is looking to gain something from the friendship, and don't have time to waste otherwise.
