I am also more socially isolated than most, and I don't feel the emotion of loneliness very often, but I definitely become distrustful and more withdrawn as the article described when I spend more time isolated. I didn't even connect the two, I just figured that was part of my personality. But now I'm remembering that when I did have close friends around a lot I felt much better and could talk to new people much more easily, and the existential angst didn't bother me so much because I don't think about it while talking to close friends. so those things might be how loneliness manifests itself in you.
