I do think there is a space in between.

Yes, connecting with most people is hard because many can be feelers, highly emotional, dramatic, irrational..... we're in different universes. I look at them as though they are as alien as they think I am. I, personally, cannot bond at an emotional level at all - and must bond by problem solving. I don't mesh with most - and frankly don't care.

Saying that, I've found that my best friends have been "intelligent feelers". They like that I can live in the future rather than the "now", think probabilistically, make decisions detached from emotion, and absorb information.

I like that they help me become a bit closer to human. To be more accepting of people, to lighten up, and to entertain wider swaths of humans silliness as normal.

What worked for me - is finding people that pass my "personal filter" and then solving some kind of issue with them. (crisis, family, work, charity, whatever)
