Moreover, recent psychological studies have investigated the phenomenon of sensory processing sensitivity, which is related to deep emotional and sensory processing. People who are highly sensitive are known to perceive emotions, changes in the tone, surroundings, and social interactions more profoundly. Although such perceptions help people become more empathic and creative, they might be psychologically overwhelming in an overstimulating environment. That is why being alone becomes refreshing rather than isolating for highly sensitive individuals.
Many individuals, particularly those who had a turbulent past and did not experience emotional stability, see home as their first step toward feeling truly free and autonomous. It is the one place where people can actually be in charge of everything that happens there: from the lighting to the background music, from complete silence to the visitors they choose to let inside.
Finally, another aspect we can observe in everyday life has to do with peopleās ability to feel comfortable being alone. In this highly stimulating modern age, most people find it difficult to simply sit in silence and enjoy their own company.
