(I should warn that I just finished TMAG but I have a bad memory, if I say something wrong, I'm sorry
Also, this is just my thoughts, you don't have to agree with them)
warning: spoilers for TMAG seasons
I think Jon/The Archivist has Lonely tendencies.
Many things Jon did and felt showed a drive to isolation.
During the first season, there was a natural distance between him and his co-workers, but he forced this distance too. His attitude and rudeness showed he wasn't easy to deal with and I ask myself if, because of it, people tried to stay away. He stayed in his office most of the time (to record statements) and wasn't close to any of his assistents.
In season 2, I believe his paranoia was crucial to drive Jon away from Tim, Martin and (not!)Sasha. He thought he could trust no one, he held secrets and broke people's trust (especially Tim's, in my opinion). From my standpoint, he did the things he did by himself because he felt alone. He felt like there was no one he could ask for help, and he didn't want to envolve people more than they needed to.
I believe the time he spent out of the Institute (in season 3) -- wanted by the police, kidnapped, traveling to china and usa, in coma -- is something that could be counted. He was mostly alone when he did those things, either by choice or because he was forced to.
I mean, the guy was kidnapped, for A MONTH, and no one knew where he was (Elias' fault) -- we know probably Elias would've saved Jon at one point because of his plan, but Jon didn't know this. Do you think he thought no one would save him?
He lost six months of his life on a coma and people were losing faith he was going to wake up. He missed things, conversations, connection with people, plans, events, and all of that stuff, stuck in his own head before Oliver showed up.
Maybe, for me, the start of season 4 was when he would feel more lonely. Tim was dead (and they didn't part in good terms), Melanie and him had a complicated relationship and it has heavily severed after he did the surgery without her consent, Basira didn't trust him, Daisy was missing, Georgie didn't want to get involved, Martin was isolating himself and Jon wasn't in a good headapace. I wonder if he felt lonely or if he was used to it (maybe both).
When Daisy was rescued, Jon had someone who understood what he was going through, but at the same time, it wasn't the same.
The development of his powers could be another thing on the iceberg because before, Jon was more human (in the literal sense) at least, he was like the others but when he became an avatar, he became one of them, one of the ""monsters"". His (dubious) actions made the difference very clear for the girls -- and Martin.
His guilty, for everything but especially for The Change, probably helped. He felt responsible for what happened. No one else truly understood (on a personal level) how deeply his guilt reached and there was no one else to share the burden, not that he would want this for anyone else.
In my vision, this culminated for his decision in the end. He went after Jonah alone and chose the alternative that would disconnect him from everyone else, trapping him in solitude.
Maybe there are more things, but I think that's the gist of it.
It was the small and big choices he made, unconsciously or not, and his position in everything showed he could've been more aligned to The Lonely as much as he was to The Eye.
If you have things to add to this, or even to counter my thoughts, I would be very happy to hear :D

i was listening to the hamilton soundtrack, and i realized how "history has its eyes on you" perfectly represents yagi (and the previous ofa users) and izuku.
and that ruined my day /hj /lh

Not so fun fact about my Roleswap AU: Izuku's first funeral was when he was 16. It was his best friend's, Shinsou.
An year later, Todoroki died. It was a private cerimony.
Due to personal reasons, a.k.a Endeavor being an asshole, Izuku couldn't say goodbye to his other best friend.

Fun fact about my Roleswap AU: due to Kaminari working as Hound Dog's assistant as a quirk conselor, he often asks for Izuku's opinions and they are good friends, they even worked together on the field despite Kaminari being more of a Twilight hero and Izuku being an Underground
