Is Captain Picard Actually a ‘Lonely’ Character?

Throughout TNG, Picard seems content with his duty, but episodes like ‘Tapestry’ and ‘The Inner Light’ suggest he might have regrets. Some fans argue that his commitment to Starfleet left him emotionally isolated, while others think he simply never needed a traditional family to feel fulfilled. For this, I think it best to stick to the original seven seasons, but obviously there’s no rules.
