A more charitable possibility is that the author is depressed. I’ve had the misfortune of battling with depression several times in my life and one of the less discussed features of the disorder is self-pity. It can make depressed people pretty unpleasant to be around which reinforces the lonely experience of the disorder. This article definitely resonates with me in that way. Feeling alone even in a room full of people who like you, for example. If that’s what the author is experiencing, writing articles like this is probably a coping mechanism, however, the content being less than flattering is why therapists generally tell us to journal (private) rather than blog (public). :-)
