The Badass Personalities of People Who Like Being Alone

I don't read these pop psychology articles very often but when I do, wow. The hand waving and lack of any sort of rigor is shocking. From the fine article:

Those two scales (extraversion and sociability) measure similar things so it is odd that they did not produce consistent findings.

You don't say?

As an aside, alone time is one reason I really love working remotely.

I love being alone (even for extended periods, as long as it is voluntary), and right now I am single by choice (until I meet a person which blows me away, but I am not in a hurry for that).

Sometimes though I am wondering what's wrong with me. Because obviously my experience and largely positive emotions about being alone are radically different from almost everybody else.

This article is funny because it starts off with an assumption that is the opposite of my initial perspective. Then again, it was also quite a revelation to me when I learned that a lot of people are not like myself and cannot stand being alone for long periods of time and actually spend a lot of time thinking about their relationships with other people.

I feel like I have to meet people and am uncomfortable with them - been told that it is important to do whats uncomfortable.
