I used to hate solitude. Not the solitude itself, but I thought I was supposed to want to be more social. I wanted to go to parties just cause I didn't want to be the kind of person who can't go to parties. Then I got tired of being that kind of person. It's exhausting, unfulfilling, and makes you a more boring person.
I still love hanging out, drinking till I pass out, going out to a bar, etc, but usually with a very small group of people I am comfortable with. But these days I am much more happy to spend all of the time by myself that I used to anyway. It's comforting to sit by yourself with nothing much to do but bask the in silence.
