A warm hello to all around. 
I am still not absolutely sure what caused me to hit the register button and join this community forum. But, as far as feeling lonely goes, it is a feeling all too familiar to me since early schooling days.
A bit of a quick summary to shed light on myself. I am a 26-year-young guy from Australia. It is my third year out of university at a programming job, which has been an interesting ride so far. In a way, I am still looking for my purpose in life. My family has always been loving and supportive, but beyond them, I have never had any good friendships, or been shown love. And for that matter, never had a girlfriend, nor come into close contact with any girls. To circumvent negative feelings generated from the latter, I keep myself as busy as possible with hobbies. I enjoy digital illustration and training at the gym very much.
Over the years, I have become somewhat proficient at shutting the rest of the world out of my head, but not pushing them away at the same time. I feel like this is something I could fix. Normally, I would never consider ranting on about how I truly feel on something to others. But the anonymity offered here seems appealing just to let off some steam. Most who have witnessed firsthand the type of activities that occur on social networking sites will know what I mean. Often, they are just cesspools of complaints and whinging about trivial aspects of first world country life.
So, with all that said, I hope to find others who I can exchange thoughts with who are, or have been, in the same boat. \o/
