Hi katherpool,
I too have problems with aloneness, isolation and loneliness. Unfortunatly I don't have any answers for you :(
One part of your post did confuse me. You say that both yourself and your T believe you don't have self esteem issues.
I *do* have a lot of problems with my "self". Ego strength I guess it's called. I think the idea is that when this improves, you get to a stage where you truly don't mind or care about what other people think of you. Once you don't have that anxiety, you are free to just be yourself. And I'm guessing that confidence and that ability to show your true colours draws suitable people to you.
Despite this, I still think no one would like me. I obviously still have quite a bit of work to do on this :)
So anyway, I thought perhaps your anxiety issues *were* centred around beliefs about your self and were confused as to why you thought you didn't have self esteem issues. Not as a critism, just curious and wanting to understand better.
