One of the reasons I have learned to be very comfortable in solitude
is the emotional transference.
My mother was one to get the whole house in an uproar with her moods, and tense was always the feeling. She was , as I always referred to her is an emotional alcoholic.
I learned early on to stay up in my bedroom. I resort to it to this day. I can not be around negative people.
I loved being around my children when I was raising them.
Solitude *is* my happiness.
You?
