Do you also feel alone in these communities?

As other also pointed out. Do not let this life style define your whole life. Find something our side of these forums, that allows you to connect with other people.

I can personally recommend getting an dog it forces you to go outside multiple times a day, no matter the weather.

My take on this is... completely opposite to what everyone else here said) I think you're good. The loneliness never goes away. You just learn to live with it, enjoy it. You know what's worse than being lonely? Being lonely amongst people who will never get you. And even when you come clean to them, and have the purest intentions, they will still not trust you. If you need human connection, there may be some areas where you, as you rightly figured out, can provide something to someone. Sorry, it sounds bleak, but once you see people's little stupid power games, what they are at their core, it's hard to want to be with them again, or to ignore that almost everyone wants to take something from you.

I leave you with a poem, by the world's greatest scribe.

A wise man once told it to me. May it bring you a flicker of light, if nothing else.

Sonnet 29: When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes​

When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

~ William O. G. Shakespeare
