Is loneliness good or bad?
To define loneliness:
1. affected with, characterized by, or causing a depressing feeling of being alone
2. destitute of sympathetic or friendly companionship
3. remote from places of human habitation; desolate;
In summary loneliness seems to have very negative characteristics. This is not about needing your personal space once in awhile, this is about feeling of depression brought on by isolation from community or contact with others. In this respect loneliness is definetly bad because it has a negative impact on a person's well being.
Though, this can be contrasted with "needing personal space and independence." Everybody needs space at some point in time. Needing space doesn't mean you are lonely.

It sounds like you need to find new friends with which you have more in common. People who make you feel good about being yourself

It's normal to "feel" lonely because feeling lonely, doesn't mean that you are lonely. As long as it's a short lived feeling that doesn't dominate your life, it's perfectly fine.
I'm not sure if a loving partner will be able to "rescue" you from this feeling though. You need to find a way to confront and defeat this within yourself before you find a partner. There will be other challenges to overcome once you find a partner, you really don't want these feelings to get in the way.
