From Rachel Mckeown, Cambridge, UK
I was fascinated by your article on the benefits of time alone, taking away some of the guilt I often feel when turning down social events in favour of a quiet night in. As an only child, I probably grew up spending more time alone than those with siblings running around. I wonder if this has any link to my relatively low tolerance to “social fatigue”, craving a night of reading at home over a night out with social-butterfly friends?
