I get a bit sad from reading your replies here...
Although I can sympathize that you'd prefer to be alone if you were hurt..
Some of the best moments in my life was when I had a good time with friends, and despite going different ways years later those memories I cherish very much.
I disagree with this dichotomy that you're either lonely, intelligent, and spiritual... or non-spiritual, unsophisticated, and have friends (that apparently aren't ''friends'' according to some in the former group!). Yes! there are people on these extremes.. no doubt!
But it's really what we make of it ourselves!! You can have your spiritual experiences and practices and you can have friends.
Lets have a bit of faith in humanity? There are so many shades and colours in between the two extremes..
