Lonely?
I can go without people for days, weeks, months.
I’ve done solitary confinement twice on 30 day stretches.
I can entertain myself delving into the depths of my intellect and all my own mind has to offer.
You stupid humans are merely an irritant.
For real entertainment I seek the accompaniment of chickens, who I find to be more intellectual than any of you stupid reptilian humanoids, like those I deal with on a daily basis.

More like socially isolated. The missus tends to stay in the house a lot of the time so we don't do stuff as much any more. I've made a big effort and joined a coffee club and I go to a community picnic. It helps a lot. Oh, and I talk to dangus more!

Should you be worried? Only in that I become a little overchatty!

No except for the social interaction. I estimate 2/3 of my effort at work was wasted (changed by other people or not used). My younger bro asked me the same question about two weeks ago - no for the reason just given and I was burnt out and didn't want to die "in harness".

Yes. Be wary of leaving your town for somewhere new where you have no connections (support network) as you could get very socially isolated and, quite simply, have no-one to depend on in a crisis.
