I believe this is not unique to a lot of people unfortunately. Loads of friends != satisfaction from the sense of belonging and meaning. I don't have an answer for you, but just trying to get to people where you can have meaningful and thoughtful conversations helps a lot for the belonging. Alternatively, a therapist should definitely help here to at least find ways. It seems like there are a lot of men health communities these days focusing on this issue as well.
