20 POINTS PLEASE HELP ASAP

Consider this quote from Carson McCullers:

“This city, New York--consider the people in it, the eight million of us. An English friend of mine, when asked why he lived in New York City, said that he liked it here because he could be so alone. While it was my friend's desire to be alone, the aloneness of many Americans who live in cities is an involuntary and fearful thing. It has been said that loneliness is the great American malady. What is the nature of this loneliness? It would seem essentially to be a quest for identity."
Discuss the nature of loneliness and how it is possible to feel lonely even when surrounded by people. (Give a paragraph with at least 5 sentences please)

The question is pretty much asking how even with people around you, you can be lonely. Think about quarantine. You are with your family right now, yet you feel alone because you cant do the things you were looking foward to. It also wants you to talk about what loneliness is like. Is it sad? Do you feel happy being alone? What are things someone would do when they are lonely?

Sorry that I couldnt give much of an answer
