Perhaps the loneliness only comes about when the surrounding environment is more rigid, unwilling to update given new evidence, or something similar.

I think it's just as possible to feel alienated when I'm strongly committed to a particular view and my environment is more "open to possibilities."

I wish you success in finding a new social community that works for you.

An excellent point I was definitely not considering!
