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.

And yet solitary confinement is just about the worst punishment given to a prisoner
@bookerdana you know, ive always wondered how i would go if that happened to me .

Like those isolation tanks .

They were used to disorient prisoners as a type of torture.

Yet....i really wanna try one !

@bookerdana eh...living on a farm in northern minnesota in the winter is not far removed from that. After a fresh snowfall lm you can hear is your stomach gurgle. I imagine those folks that go to antarctica are pretty used to isolation. They also gave to be like submariners and tolerate being packed into a small space too.
