Found this regarding why some are comfortable being alone and perhaps its significance.

'9 Reasons Why Highly Intelligent People Prefer To Be Alone'

[captain queeg]

1. I think a lot of this hits home

Main difference is I seem to do my best early in the day. I wasn't really like that when I was younger, so that might be a learned trait. I think in the US socializing is over emphasized. I used to feel like there was something wrong with me because I liked to spend time alone. As I got older, I've learned to accept, myself as is.

4. I think too that socializing IS over-emphasized here.

Liking being 'alone' doesn't mean one is necessarily 'lonely' or 'lonesome'.

I assimilated into loner mode as I got older. Did my thing when younger. Was in with the in crowd. Big deal.

I don't reject being with others, simply feel more comfortable to be 'me' at my home a lot. Plus I'd rather be with my pet than with people mostly, truth be told. 😁

The 'orange bag of noxious gas' contaminated many facets of life that we were familiar with and relatively happy with. Lots has turned to crapola.

8. We didn't all get stamped out by some infernal machine

I've known asocial people who were up with the birds every morning and ready to pass out at 8 PM. I've known brilliant ones and others who were dumb as doorknobs.

Still, we're the people at work who tend to be off by ourselves and coming up with novel solutions to old problems. We're the ones who feign illness on "team building exercise" days, we just don't fit into the "yay team" model. And given our druthers, we spend free time alone doing various things from video games to hard science reading to woodworking, you name it.

I was a weaver, looms being distinctly non portable items and consequently requiring a lot of alone time to pursue it. I was also an RN, not the sort of occupation that attracts total misanthropes. It was a decent mix for me, YMMV.

3. Reason why

Is redundant. It’s either “reason” or “why,” but not both.

I tried to watch it but it was too slow. Needs to get the main points faster.

5. Spot on description

I am a technician that works with a variety of people and equipment, and this video captures
what I and other technicians deal with on a daily basis. Time to analyze and time to get things
done, is our talent.
