In solitude, you uncover parts of yourself that are previously unknown. Just as how you realize who you are in social settings. Together, they form a whole. But in my preference, the best of time is one that is spent with yourself. For it allows you to introspect in ways where external interventions are the least present. Thus, I find it confusing as to why others would pity those who relish being alone most of the time. When it, in fact, allows you to get to know yourself in the most authentic means.
