[INTP] hey intp, how lonely are you??

Hi!:hi:
You called me a lovely person!!
However, i do feel lonely, but i dont know why, recently my lonliness has decreased to some extent.
But i'm still much lonely, i didnt use to be like this before, but after i grew up, i suddenly changed greatly. Now i have only about 4 real friends, a few months ago, i used to have only 2 real friends, maybe the increase of friends has decreased my loneliness.

However, this a loneliness test:
UCLA Loneliness Scale

Recently, my loneliness decreased a bit, so i got 36. I might have scored a few points more a few months ago.
Tell me how much you got!

I scored a 29! Guess it could be worse. I wish I were a child again... I had plenty of close friends which I grew up with. Every time I moved to a different city (Trickling slowly down from NorCal to SoCal), I seemed to have less and less friends, until late in highschool when I had/have really none at all. Oh well. Just one more year left. I can tolerate loneliness unlike other people, so I think I am at least somewhat okay with this.

Actually I think I know what happened... but not sure why it did. I used to be highly playful, imaginative, and sociable as a kid, but as time went on I slowly retreated into my shell and then became completely resistant to everyone around me. Maybe I developed a mental illness along the way (which seems highly plausible considering my blatant differences with everyone else). I know it's my fault for my own loneliness, but I still do feel lonely and unsatisfied.

I have always thought in terms of the differences between INTPs and INTJs, INTPs are often inclined to seem or act more lonely than INTJs. Though there is a difference in the loneliness, as I think INTPs wish for affection and to give affection whereas INTJs wish more for belief of belonging in the values of another individual they value.

I scored 26 and I don't talk to anyone anymore. A couple people here and there try to call me on my birthday or out of the blue, but I just ignored them for some reason. But 26 is not even that bad.
