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.

I love it because I don't have to adapt to anyone and can freely do my own thing. It als means I don't have to talk, which I don't like very much most of the time. I like peace and quiet. I also just enjoy my own company.

This doesn't mean I don't like people or social situations. I do. But in moderation.

I am also an extreme introvert so yes, social interactions also wear me out.

@tenente When I suck on her Toes I do not have to talk 😌
@tenente i always thought i was an extrovert, i loved being out around people, i liked meeting new people.
But life has changed me. I love being lord of my alone time, Queen of my quietude.
At work, i have no problem working alone ...i detest meeetings .

People are ....complex and exhausting. They require so much extra energy to navigate their unsaid words, consider their feelings, dance around their egos, and avoid the nastiness that slips out of them.
I know good people can be fun.

Its just they are rare.
