You need to expand your social circle. You are not alone in this. As a 25y dev I can relate to this. I wasn't disciplined as you, that's a big difference. I entertained myself learning techs outside my job box. This loneliness happens in many aspects of life. Reading is an example. I always encourage my children into heavy reading. Even I pay them for challenging books. As a result, their way of thinking is above average in almost everything. But I constantly warn them to look for good peers, people that share their taste in reading, people who they can talk and enjoy the talking, or else they will end up feeling alone. So my advice, expand your social circle and find people smarter than you, people you can admire and enjoy listening. It worked for me. Good luck and good coding!
