      Thriving on solitude is a learned skill. It takes most people time to get used to. Some never do and desperately jump between relationships. This is just my personal observations.

      i’m middle aged and everyone assumes i’m lonely and depressed, but really i’m just not interested in being around people

      I agree, I’m middle aged too and fine like this, enjoy spending time with my partner, our dog, nature, birds watching, etc.
