> The ability to speak to anyone doesn’t necessarily mean that you never feel lonely at parties

The ability to extract valuable entertainment or information from all conversations is, though. I am no expert in this, and I have actively fled from conversations that started to center on someone's hobby horse without much escape or diversion, but I know people who can enter a conversation on anything and, even just by asking smart questions, emerge better from them.

I envy those people.

You can still feel lonely while asking those questions and keeping other party engaged. Because it is one way discussion. You are saying things to engage and fun the other person. But you yourself is not getting connected nor feeling like you are engaged or expressing yourself.

I mean, it can be fun and enjoyable, but it does not help loneliness, no more then business meeting.
