All loneliness is self inflicted - unless you're stranded on a desert island.

Humans are social and long to be a part of something. This is how we get conformity, social rules, and the other ugly things like religion and society. Earlier in our programming it was a part of survival - the bigger the pack the better the chances. Now we are expected to fit in and join because that's just what you do.

And when there's no desire to join in the reindeer games, we feel left out. We stay away from the rest of the group and feel slightly disenfranchised/Lonely.

And with the technology at our disposal, why should we join in? There's TV, video games, the internet, etc. which all fracture our social strata because no one wants to come out and play. Truth is no one is out playing anymore.
