As a child, I felt I was alone, and I still have that feeling, because I know things and want to speak for things that others don't know, but when I do, they don't accept or refuse to understand them. This makes me feel somehow lonely.
Loneliness doesn't come from not having people, but from being unable to communicate things that seem important to yourself, or from having certain opinions that others find unacceptable.
These are my feelings when I speak to other people about Bitcoin. I speak to them about something important to me, that would be also important for them if they accept and make it part of their life, but I realize that they don't understand what I say. This gives me a deep feeling of loneliness. I have to communicate something very important and special - that's Bitcoin to me right now - to the people I love and appreciate, but they don't share the same opinion with me.
In these situations, namely, when people refuse to understand what I say about Bitcoin, come to my mind Satoshi's words: "If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry." Yes, my life - and life in general - is too short, and I don't want to spend my precious time to try to convince you of something that you don't want to believe me, or when you refuse to accept my arguments, or even worse when you don't accept what I say without hearing my arguments at all.
I find this correct and logical when the person in front of you is someone you don't have close connections. But if this person is someone I love, someone precious to me? It makes me feel bad. It makes me feel lonely, even if I'm not alone physically. And it hurts, guys!
I've been trying for a while to convince my best friend to start learning about Bitcoin and be part of the Bitcoin community, but he refuses categorically to understand me. I have no other people close to me that are dealing with Bitcoin and I really wanted to convince my best friend, but without success until now.
Hopefully, things will change one day!
the no-coiner is a state of mind.
shitcoin/fiat state of mind translates into a shit state of life. even if u know some no-coiners who are kind and helpful, they are wasting their potential. they would rather pay the socialist state on a socialist fee schedule and go work a socialist state job than help a fellow man. that's really what it means.
they will not help u in a catastrophic event. they won't be able to help themselves even. u may not have the energy or funds to help them.
so find more people in real life who are bitcoiners or at least self-sufficient to the point of not needing much fiat. then maybe u will have the capacity to help and educate the shitcoiners/fiatcoiners when SHTF. until then, they are a drag, stumping ur progress, and punching themselves in the face.
face the truth, and u shall become happy

Agreed. But when flies are the bees' best friends, the bees won't give up easily; they'll do anything to convince the flies, I guess.

i had a best friend. he got demoted to no contact due to his refusal to accept the truth. ignorance is a mark of a bad person and i now see these people as dangerous. doubts are fine, but his final verdict was "what u are studying is bullshit, and bitcoin is still at 58k" lmao.

I stop being that "nice bee" trying to help squarehead fly that do not want to listen to me.
I was that "nice bee" for 3 halvings... and I got tired. Now I only tell them this:

In my opinion almost impossible to orange-pill others. People get it when they're ready. Whether they get it 'earlier' or 'later' isn't really that important... the important thing is that society gets it eventually, which I think they will. My 2 sats

The best thing you can do is be kind and live by example. People may or may not make the connection but on average more and more people will realize value over time. Instead of loneliness with this situation I appreciate the peace of being able to Bitcoin with out distraction.

Good advice! I appreciate it.

Hmm... I don't think this directly answers your question, but if you'd like to explore your feeling at a higher level, I'd suggest you read something like Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Or if you'd prefer, here is a short video giving you a taste of it:
