I see loneliness as a state of mind. An extrovert can be amongst people socializing but can "feel lonely." An introvert may feel fine or lonely amongst themselves, etc. I think it's all about knowing one has an established meaningful relationship or plural that reminds them they can relate to another and they are understood by another. And for example, an introvert can do fine apart from those meaningful relationships for long periods of time and the extrovert may feel alone without them. But loneliness is something chronic; a void where one does not feel deeply interfaced with something or somebody.
