I do the exact same thing, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing. I realised that I do this as a protective measure. Simply put, I’m not easily trusting of people, so I refuse to give my best at the risk of being burnt. My closest friends are those who actively reached out to me after I detached the first time. It tells me that they genuinely care and are interested in me; at this point it’s a lot easier to give as good as I get because an effort is made. Sometimes it’s about the quality of people that we connect with, rather than the quantity. I’m ok with being surrounded by acquaintances and having one really good friend. It beats having a large group of “friends” and still feeling alone. Don’t try so hard to conform, especially if it doesn’t feel natural. Embrace who you are, and you will feel so much happier.💛
I can relate Happy, I love being alone sometimes is not good because even when you have a problem you want to deal with it alone while there are many people who care about you out there.
You are confident 👌 that's it. I think we have some serious similarities (insecurities exist but generally people can't read that in me). I understand the loner thing, although it's not my stage now. Also dude COME TO MY HOUSE TO CHARGE YOUR PHONE. We don't even have to interact, you can just use my room and not feel pressured to socialise with my housemates haha.
I understand you Happiness. It's probably coming from growing up alone, no sisters, no cousins...but since you have pointed it out, you will be mindful about it, and you will overcome it with time I guess. ...

If you meet a good person what are you protecting yourself from? Not isolating?
