What i hate the most about being with other people is that it makes me feel fake. Only when i am alone can i be my true self.

Solitude is addictive. Once you learn to enjoy your own company, there is no better thing to achieve peace.
-
"Better alone rather than badly accompanied."
-
As someone who enjoys solitude and has tried to be more social, I can say that as soon as you reach a certain level of solitude and peace of mind, you don't want to go back.

“ Loneliness is the pain of being alone. Solitude is the glory of being alone.” - Paul Tillich

I find people are a perpetual source of pain for me. Solitude is my freedom.

"I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone". Quote from Robin Williams.

Being alone is not the same thing as being lonely. I have experienced enough drama due to others. I now chose to 'only' associate with others during shared interests

“Social interaction has a price” great talk my friend

I retired and had to pull away from people. Working with them for 45 years was stressful and depressing. When I retired people kept asking me "are you going to volunteer?" "are you going to travel?" I just want to be away from people. That's all. I don't want to be in crowds of tourists and volunteering just means more people without being paid for it.

I feel more loneliness when I'm socializing with others too long. A short appearance, then back to my peaceful and happy solitary life

I've been married, divorced, and in multiple long and short-term relationships. Even in the "good" reltionships, there's ALWAYS a point where I wish I was alone again. A couple of years ago when I reached 40, I realized solitude is just healthier for me. Being raised an only child kind of set me up for it. When I look at all the drama other people deal with when it comes to relationships, family, and friends, it just reinforces my decision.

If you've never been in a relationship you may fall into the trap of romanticing and idealizing it too much. You may even start to fell disgust for your state of single man or woman. Instead, the moment you start to experience what is a relationship "in reality", you discover that there are pros and cons, like almost everything. Expecially if you have suffered because of a toxic partner, you start considering solitude as a peaceful state, rather than lonely situation.

Been a hermit for the last year. I only interact with people every 6-8 weeks, when I go into town for supplies. It’s been a great time.
-
I'm happier when I'm alone. I love solitude. I value inner peace, inner joy, self-reflection, healing, self-love, self-development, self-mastery, self transcendence, freedom. I feel that I don't belong to this world. I'm allergic to humans. And I think most humans don't like me too. But it's ok, I've learned to love and accept myself. This is my last incarnation on Earth. 🙏🧚♀💖🍀🌹

My social life was rife with betrayal, backstabbing, gossip, lies, cheating, hearsay, arguments, he said she said, fights, users, opportunists, liars and the demoralization of my spirit and mental state.
-
I love being alone and not having friends. It is just simple, way less BS.
-
Powerful: "In solitude, we find the strength we thought we needed from others." 🙌🏼
-
When we learn to be alone artfully, we no longer use other people as an escape.
