Great article!! In my later years I have come to enjoy time alone to read, meditate, take walks, and practice gratitude. I can go a whole day without interacting with another human being, and I survive just fine! My time alone is never boring, and I never suffer from FOMO. Loving this stage of my life where I can tolerate myself enough to hang out with ME. I hope more young people find their way to to health benefits of spending time alone sooner than I did! I think it comes with age and maturity, but also, the cultural stigma of doing things alone is real. That needs to change. Thank you for this research!
