Why do some people LOVE being alone ?

Short answer:
-because its better than peopling.

Long answer: Because they suffering exhaustion on so many levels - mental, emotional, psychological, financial, and physical...they are run dry.
The cup is empty
Exhaustion so deep its like 'soul fatigue'.

Being alone means comfort, wholeness, a sense of contol over what stimulus you get.
- Peace -

People ask "dont you get bored?"

No. Never. And even if we did ..... we'd translate it into a sense of tranquility.


Once youve been wrung out by someone, lived on high alert that even sleep is invaded, for so long youve almost forgotten who you are ...there is no such thing as boredom or loneliness anyore .

Both are welcome relief.
Both are safe

Its a comparative thing - its better than fear, angst, anger or saddness.

"Boredom and loneliness" become states that free one up for space in your head, quiet reflection, tranquil enjoyment, peacefullness.

@Convivial I'm great company for me. I never get bored.
@Convivial Thats true .
i also wonder if its a bit like the chemical reset drug addicts go thru ...but the opposite:

Our bar for happiness, (or contentment), has been conditioned so low .... 'nothing' can be a type of bliss for us.🤔

The spaces are very important.

Just like the words people don't actually say .
