1. Heckuvaniceguy.
I think there is a tendency to confuse "alienated" with "loner", when they are actually quite different things. There are lots of alienated non-loners (Hell's Angels for example, or Blackwater Security Guards) and also quite well-adjusted un-alienated loners (like me and you).

2. Yes, that's a good distinction, bemildred
I do spend time with others, and I genuinely enjoy it when I do.

3. I like people, but dosage is very important.
