I also got asked that once. It's mostly because I'm a speechcel/languagecel though. People can see that I'm Swedish, but they give me a very particular look of disgust, since they thought that hobbit-like freaks like me had already been made completely extinct. I do feel like the very last of my kind whenever I'm walking around outside.
How normgroids get through the day is beyond me, since they have absolutely no interests, the only things they get up to is animalistic nonsense.
It does get extremely isolating. Even if you talk to normies there's just nothing going on beyond their eyes, or if there is, it's always a cuckoo's nest of evil garbage. More often than not it feels like their eyes even lack reflections, which adds to their uncanny doll-like expressions even more.
To be honest, I think that loneliness is absolute and a fact of life, even among "conscious"/"schizo" people (or however you want to call non-NPCs). It is impossible for two individuals to truly get to know each other, even if they really wanted to.
No matter how much they would talk or try to communicate, all they would ever do is develop increasingly elaborate ideas of what the other person is like in their heads, and those ideas will always be completely different from what that other person is actually like. Communication and the capacity people have to understand each other is simply too limited.
That's why love, whether romantic or platonic, does not exist in my opinion. Having a true understand of each other is quite simply a prerequisite to true love, because otherwise you will only ever love the idea of someone you built up in your head, it will never be the real person.
For humans to ever truly understand each other it would necessitate something like the Human Instrumentality Project, which is from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. I bring it up as an example because it is one of the more popular depictions of the concept I'm about to explain. Basically, the minds of humans would be fused. In the original NGE series this is depicted as having solved life or similar as every human on Earth somehow miraculously got along, but I think that is only one of the four possible outcomes I think there could be. I will list them all here:
1. The result would be something like Nozick’s Experience Machine or the Infinite Tsukuyomi (everyone gets along, life is solved basically). It is important to note that the promise of something like this (or result 3) in real life through the means of something like this most likely would have a nefarious angle to it, that being to enslave people and gain power. That is whag both the Human Instrumentality Project and the Infinite Tsukuyomi was about after all, if you've seen those shows. A real life counterpart to those fictional ideas would be something like this:
Some want to enslave mindkind because it would be fun to design our chains.

2. All humans truly understanding eachother would bring about a chaotic hellscape of proportions far beyond our imagination. Cosmic horror of the highest order. Something like the Philosopher’s Stone in Fullmetal Alchemist. In other words, we should be grateful that we will never get to understand the abomination that is a neurotypical's mind, or god forbid the cuckoo's nest that is a foid's mind.
3. All humans truly understanding eachother would end the suffering humans bring eachother. Humanity would become a superbeing fit to uncover the secrets of the universe in record time.
4. Something inbetween 2 and 3. Things would only be different, not better or worse. It would be a lateral move. People understand each other, but nobody gets along any better or worse. Some might prefer this, but I think it would practically make us a new species and set us back billions of years to acclimate to this change, so it would not be worth it.
In my opinion the second result would be the most likely followed by the fourth and third results. The first result would be the most unlikely, and I will explain why in depth below:
Many people seem to believe that loneliness is some profound thing and that solving it would solve life, but I have come to believe that's not the case. Loneliness might be a deep pain, but it's not any more profound than an elbow scratch. It's just a pain we somehow have, it's probably an old survival mechanism of some kind. It would be nice to be without it, but the general idea that ending pain and maximising pleasure is a misdiagnosed cure for the human condition. It would be nice to live without pain and lack of pleasure, but that would not make life complete.
The reason for that is because it doesn't look far enough, it ignores the fact that we have consciousness. The way I see it to be conscious is to seek, quite simply. As long as a conscious person doesn't know everything there is to know about life and the universe, or "the Truth", if you will. As long as he doesn't know the truth he will feel unrest, no matter how pleasure he has in his life. The silver lining to that is that everyone is equally equipped to seek the truth in life, no matter if they are an incel or worse. That is the cope that keeps the gun out of my hands at least, so to speak.
I will also say that I've spoken about my above ideas on Incels.is before, and that they seem to be extremely unpopular. Every response I've gotten to this is someone calling me a dunce that is "objectively incorrect" or something to that effect. People just do not want to ask themselves whether love as we know it is even real. I suppose that's because if your average waifufag/waifu-worshipper comes to the same conclusion as me they will find themselves in a bigger hell than the one they were already in. Not only are they without their dear waifu, they are also without the possibility of ever loving or being loved by their waifu, or all alone in the universe in other words. That is if they can't see the the silver lining I was trying to point out, of course.
I suppose that another way of looking at this could be that eradicating consciousness would be the solution to life, since it could be argued to be a mental illness in the way that it brings us eternal unrest, but to me losing concsiousness would be the same as dying.
