It is often said that our personality is largely shaped by the pre-school years. If that is true, growing up alone may have a significant impact on our social preferences. Before I went to kindergarten, I spent most of my time alone, watching TV and enjoying my own company. My parents and older brother were often busy with work and school, so I had a lot of time alone. I liked being able to do whatever I wanted without having to share my toys or TV time with anyone. Starting school was a major adjustment. I dreaded the idea of interacting with others and have never really gotten used to it. Even as an adult, I prefer solitude. While I can be social, it always feels like a compromise. Being alone seems so natural. I cannot say for sure if everyone who grew up alone feels the same way. Perhaps those who were constantly surrounded by others might find solitude uncomfortable. For me, being alone has been a source of comfort and independence. That is why I prefer to WFH instead of interacting with co-workers in the office, and cherish those 2 days per week when I am more productive at home or at my town club. 

I prefer to be alone. I think it's due to age. As I grow older, I tend not to socialise as much as possible. I rather be alone and do my own stuff.
