Those who love staying at home…😳

There has been growing recognition among psychologists that loneliness and solitude are not the same thing. Loneliness refers to the emotional distress that comes from feeling isolated or disconnected, whereas solitude can be deeply restorative when it is chosen willingly. A study published in the Journal of Personality found that people with higher levels of introversion and sensory sensitivity were more likely to intentionally seek solitude, particularly during stressful periods. The researchers also noted that voluntary solitude can support emotional recovery and self-regulation.
