Love this I believe that truth is in the time in which you find yourself pondering its meaning. My youthful perspective is quite different than now...sigh...as age takes its due..the facts do not change...but the way in which I view them certainly does. I am much more forgiving and not as rigid in placing blame or judging harshly..who knows how I will see it in my 90s...
Betrayal, imo, means some promise or trust has been broken or unfulfilled. We assume much trust in this world and of course hear promises daily, but at birth is there either? Life doesn't betray us, we betray ourselves.
1) life contains suffering and disappointment but that’s not the same as saying life just IS suffering.
There is suffering and there is joy. Philosophers learn to balance these out.
2) and 3) are the same thing as most philosophers ARE isolates and tend to feel this way but as Josiah Royce pointed out, the end of our efforts is to bring something worthy of our searching efforts, to the community at large and most specifically and importantly, to our fellow seekers. Long Live the Philosophers!
The most fundamental question is not an existentialist one, but one that transcends all answers and sustains continuity, because we all ask it every day.

I’m amazed and excited by these quotes. I have never before read something that so thoroughly describes me.

Which is, "ok!...and now what ?"
