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.
