Alone a lot, and not really wanting to call anyone
There are plenty of people in your phone, and after a scroll through you haven't opened a single conversation.
It isn't that you dislike them. It's that the thought of explaining how you are is tiring. And afterwards? They can't do much anyway.
So you stay on your own. A little lonely, and manageable — until, at some point, "manageable" gives way.
What may be going on
Loneliness comes in two kinds, pointing in opposite directions. One needs someone present, someone listening, and panics the moment things go quiet. The other is used to handling everything alone and only feels safe at a distance.
The second kind often isn't recognised as loneliness, because it looks independent and low-maintenance. But independence held long enough makes you forget what being caught feels like.
Coming closer doesn't have to start with talking. Sometimes being in the same room as someone, doing something that needs no words, is enough for the body to notice the difference.
Essences that may fit
You don't need all of them. See which description comes closest to how you are now.

Aloofness, deliberate distance
Used to keeping a distance and handling things yourself. Its support isn't making you sociable but making closeness less costly.

Self-absorption, needing to be heard
If your loneliness points the other way — badly needing to be heard, panicky alone — this one comes closer.
Impatiens
Impatience, irritability
If you often feel out of step with other people's tempo and waiting irritates you, look at this one.
One small thing you can do now
Find a way to be near people that requires no conversation. The same café, a film with family, or just going where there are people.
No interaction needed, no explaining yourself.
Notice whether anything in the body is slightly different. Loneliness often eases in the body first, and in the mind afterwards.
