In bad company

"If you're lonely when you're alone, you're in bad company."-Jean-Paul Sartre

What does the underlined part exactly mean? It seems to suggest that you're doing something wrong if you feel lonely when you're alone, but I'd like to know what it really means. I'd greatly appreciate your help. Thank you.
