I like to think the singer is really talking to himself, saying in a sarcastic tone, "Way to go. You're miserable and it's your own fault." I think they avoid things like friends, etc. because they think that they're doing themselves a favour. Like they can't get hurt if no one is around to hurt them, but in the end, without anyone around they feel miserable. The only thing they have is music, but after listening to that one song over and over again even that becomes empty and incomparable to human company.
Or at least that's my own, very personalized, take on it.
