"Being alone for a while is dangerous. It's addicting. Once you know how peaceful it is, you don’t want to deal with people anymore."

Balance is everything, tbh. Having an option to be alone when you need it is very important but so are meaningful interactions. The longer you live like a hermit, the harder it can be to get back to society even if you'd want to. I heard that it's also very important in the elderly because interacting with other people helps preventing decline of cognitive functions.
