Not engaging with other humans. Whether in person or online, I simply don't feel like talking to people is necessary.

Will I do it? Sure. It's fine. But the difference is that I can go weeks without speaking to someone else - and frequently do since I'm disabled and a bit of a shut-in. However, it seems to really bother people to not have others with which to speak. I've never understood this.

    Yeah, any time I watch Alone I don't get how people can tap out after like a week because they're lonely.

    It’s not that it necessarily becomes unbearable after a week - it’s more about realizing that if you’re already struggling now, it’s not going to get any easier later. Better to tap out early than drag it out for two months just to reach the same conclusion.
