That you have a family is probably a big contributor for why you do not need/do feel that you do not need friends. You do get your social interaction from them. Hopefully you can call your family friends? :)
But without such a family I think there is a need for friends even for very introverted people. Not everyone and not all the time, but as a social and tribal creature it is ingrained in us.
There are coping mechanisms to work around not having those needs met, but I think those are mostly band-aids.
In the end it comes down to the individual. And as a matter of fact many people do feel lonely. With or without friends or partners.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
That is true and very sad. But loneliness is a different thing than not having friends.
I'm not lonely. I have a lovely family. 👨👩👧👦 (Sometimes it would be cool to be alone just for a couple of hours 😄)
You can make that time if you plan for it.
