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 you wrote about this. And I still love your oogie boogies in writing. I sometimes wonder if the longer answer becomes, when you have established these things, mental, emotional, psychological, financial and the physical, if you are with a friend if they can take within their entire canvas of life of all the things too, mental, emotional, ...... including you

Maybe why it's easier to not "people" at times. They can't even handle themselves

Some people do really help me remember who I am. That's coming from someone often a lonewolf, or bird.

@OogieBoogie I love my solitude. I'm scared I have spent so many years with mine, if I were to give it up, I don't know where I would be, how I would accept and love. The alone time taught me healing, while also teaching me love again.

I think as we get older, those who help us become further and fewer between because we learn ourselves. All the ones before in a way taught you who you can't be with. They may have even taught you loneliness while with them. It can become a leap of faith to let someone in.
