Lonely People's Brains Wired Differently

This article talks about the way lonely people tend to create situations and maintain their loneliness by seeking out conflict and trying to get attention. I guess to them even "negative attention" is better than 'no attention."

Quote:

In a real-world context, this is a troubling finding. When people feel most alone, these results suggest their brains are not tuned in to smiles and laughter, they’re switched on to frowns and snarls — they’re vigilantly looking out for negativity without really knowing it

I'm curious how they distinguish between loneliness and an introvert?
