For me, my alone time is my alone time and it is a priority. As a kid I was a bullied and forced to stay afar from other kids and in order to not fall into the dark side of being bullied and seeing this as a sort of punishment, I thought myself that my alone time is a normality and relaxation. I basically took this as a great opportunity to observe others and learn to be better, to read, to watch movies, to listen music, to practice skills, etc. For me it paid off on the long term. From what I observed the need for alone time comes as a reaction to being overwhelmed or bullied somehow. Think about that super quick and see if I am right.
To those thinking this can't be right, take a pause from time to time and do solo something new you never did alone before. You will find new things about yourself.
Your insight about being overwhelmed hits the nail on the head for me. It’s like alone time is my cue to retreat from the big bad world and try to recenter myself.
Oh I love travelling solo! Nothing gets my adrenaline rushing than arriving at a new city with my backpack on my back
