Is this really true?

What do you guys on Lemmy say? Most of us are tech people so we are more used to being alone with our thoughts perhaps.

Wow, it’s the exact opposite of me.

I often get on a flight from the east coast to the west coast and just stare at the seat in front of me. There’s too much to figure out about so many things. I crave alone time with no external stimulation, so weird to me that even 15 minutes would freak people out.

Thank you. I think I'm the same way, I don't mind being alone. Walking in a forest with my thoughts can be nice too.
