Since you don’t seem to have a problem with spending time alone, you are not lonely and the purported* results of this study don’t apply to you.
*I am skeptical of this study’s validity but that is irrelevant to what constitutes ‘loneliness’.

Not entirely though. Part of it can be self-dellusion, and the persons can still feel worse off for being alone even if introverted, but not consciously be able to process it. Humans are social animals, introversion can be part of a development issue (like being on the spectrum).
i am not interested in company, or sex. i really really really prefer to be alone, and mostly am. i live in a place i can hike 3-4 hours a day, i don't have close neighbors, i work from home.
so, honestly and without sarcasm you would say i'm delusional? i personally have never met anyone as happy as me. maybe i am delusional. :)
