I used to do it a lot in the military, months alone in a server room on a ship, eating alone because I'm working nights. This might sound like a nightmare to some but it's my most extreme example and I loved it. Honestly, it's relaxing not having to deal with people's problems all the time. I deal with people very frequently in my current role and I miss the peace and quiet.
Most psychologists will tell you "we're very social creatures" but I was VERY social for so long that now it just feels like a waste of my time. People are quick to throw their problems on everyone around them, I get tired of the neediness, the games people play, the ego trips, all of it. It's sort of like a been there, done that, not interested anymore.

- yamazakiwi 4y agoThat's an interesting point, I didn't think about that. That probably contributes to a positive experience for some.
