Remote, alone, isolated, silence, peace, free.

I love solitude, being on my own.
When its quiet.
I may have been one of the few who embraced the COVID-19 initial lock-down. No people, no traffic just birds singing and fresh air. I can be alone and not be lonely.
Why?
Some people cannot cope being in their won company or not being part of a couple. Is it something I've learned or grew to accept? Did my upbringing, childhood or social standing give place to how much time I was on my ow and therefore developed the skill?
My childhood was good, I have a sibling I was close to and some dear friends that I am still in touch with 30+ years after the fact.
No i think society and the human race made me feel safer, better, freer on my own. I can reply on myself, provide and care for myself and regularly holiday abroad on my own to the horror of some friends and family. I have stayed alone off grid if a different country confident in the ability to start a fire, cook from scratch and read the weather enough not to get caught out seriously.
I keep a bug-out bag under my bed. I'm that sorta prepared. I find it strange when people aren't able to live alone, go for a meal alone or even pop for a sit in coffee without feeling embarrassed or worried. I no lesser at risk that a couple or a group for getting mugged, hit by a bus, caught in a storm. But i do it anyway.
I think in the last 2 decades people have changed. society has changed and I don't like it
