What is it inside of us that places us into a desire for solitude? A lot of people i know are more content being alone than with people. My first reaction is to think it's about anxiety or fear. I work in a high school and every day i see hundreds of examples of peer abuse, including the teachers. No wonder we have choose solitude over involvement. How can anyone trust anyone else when the majority of their lives has been nothing more then verbal assaults and emotional bashing. In these cases solitude is a complacent escape from the harshness of interaction.
On a more positive note i'd have to say that solitude can be contentment or completeness. Solitude can be a moment where we stop the world and reflect and hope to hear our inner voice. We can take the time to better ourselves and realize what is truely important. So many people forget this aspect of life. People are to busy to consider taking time to just be. The dramas of the world have them wrapped up in a tight cocoon of distraction.
One more thing that is some what related. I have also noticed a lot of social anxiety comes from a fear of not knowing what to do, or where to go. This is where our natural human nature can spring to life and we can use our creative powers to experience new things (PURPOSE MEANING GOALS), or i suppose we are left with learning how to be comfortable feeling the void of expectation. Anyway, let me know if i left something out or something needs to be omitted Thanks.
