If your house is big enough you can talk to the domestic servants for company through.

Servants or assistants might not provide you with the kind of connection that you long.

Or they could, if they care about you, respectfully attend to your needs and listen to you.

>Loneliness is the state of distress or discomfort that results when one perceives a gap between one’s desires for social connection and actual experiences of it. Even some people who are surrounded by others throughout the day—or are in a long-lasting marriage—still experience a deep and pervasive loneliness. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/loneliness

Just because your house is big doesn't mean you have servants. And nobody is lonelier than the lonely man who is surrounded by people.
