Read Tolstoy, Chesterton and the Confessions of St Augustine. The Consolation of Philosophy perhaps also. Then volunteer at a homeless shelter or doing something for disabled kids, etc, where you can have direct and positive engage with other people. I assume that you're quite young, but you will sorely regret cultivating yourself into the kind of gloomy, aloof loner that you're aiming to be.
