> it made no sense to complain about loneliness because I am a brainy type AND simultaneously refuse to engage with other's emotions because they are not brainy as I am.

Reminds me of a funny story years ago:

I remember talking to a guy at work who complained about girls avoiding him like the plague, and they only talked to him when they had to cause he was an IT guy.

But sure enough, if you observed him for a few minutes, it was exactly like that SNL skit with Jimmy Fallon, the guy would berate and/or belittle coworkers for not knowing about technology as much as he did, even though it's not really their job.

The guy pretty much dried up the vagina.

And the worst part is that I tried to explain it to him and he just could not comprehend with all his intelligence, the notion that talking down to people just isn't sexy.
