True loneliness novels/poem collections? I'll give a recommendation to start

Canti - Leopardi
It's a poetry collection that echos loneliness and still to this day I still recognize leopardi as such a lonely figure

The Epic of Gilgamesh

I stopped reading novels because the main character would always have friends and I would get jealous

read Kafka. He coped his loneliness into his works. No friends. No women. No close family.

The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. And perhaps the poem which Carson took the title from, but I am forgetting the poem at the moment and do not know if it actually applies. Can't even remember who wrote it. Anyways, Carson McCullers.
