Sounds good on the surface, John.  It may even be true for some who are more dependant than independant.  It certainly would not apply, however, to the shepherd boy named David who had for company only sheep, more consequencial than sheep in the life of David was Nathan  nor to John the Baptist to  pretend that Jesus and JB were not close is to miss the point of family ties , who lived alone in the wilderness, or to Elija had Elisha, or to Paul following his experience on the Damascus road Paul had Ananias , or to John on the isle of Patmos had his apostles pals, or to Job Job had his friends and many others.

As to personal experience; I enjoy the company of people, especially small intimate groups, but I prefer being alone much of the time, and find that time alone to be when I am the most aware of the presence and majesty of my Lord. And you have not arrived  at your concept of the "truth" apart from your association with  others.
