I think it just depends on the person. I need alot of time alone. Great artist and writers do the best work when they work alone. Our soiecty tells us we should be outgoing. Everyone need to get married. nonsense. I need touch. I have to get massages every week.
So as long as you are happy, it will be fine.

Like Peterthegreat said it depends on the person. I do better when I am around someone. When I am completely alone my mind will quite literally drive me crazy. I have to have someone in the house or I start having issues. It has been good that I have my son living with me even though he is an adult now because it helps keep the darkness away.

I have an extreme need for companionship but that's just me. I need someone to care for and to care about me.

Like you, I think there's a lot of positive to being alone. Less people and problems to deal with.
HOWEVER---- it's great to be alone but when Loneliness sets in, it's hard. Two different things. Like rianbooyer stated above, when I'm alone too much my mind gets the best of me.
Also, I need to tell you that I'm older than you, and from my experience, when you get older, it gets harder, and you will NEED people in your life. Either way, it's not easy at all. I wish it was, but it's not. Good luck to you, and I'll be thinking about you.

I like being alone but I absolutely hate being single . Unfortunately I always attract the wrong kind of people. I am a very emotional needy person(which is something I’m working on). I constantly need validation. But recently I found good part of being alone you don’t need to put up with bullshit .

There are many benefits to living alone. Nobody around to complain about your garlic breath, or that you left dirty dishes in the sink, or you spilled cookie crumbs in the bed. Nobody to fight with you over the TV remote. If music is playing. it's always your favorite tunes, not some annoying CRAP like Gwen Stefani Hollaback Girl.

And the ambient room temp is always just right for your skin. The furniture is positioned exactly where where you want it to be. Right where you left it.
If you accidentally pee on the bathroom wall or ceiling.... it's not a big deal. And so on and so forth.

Of course the down side is how lonely, dull, boring it gets. No one to talk to or joke around with. Or serve you breakfast in bed, Or give you a body massage, or a hug when you need one.

Damn, I'm making myself sad typing this. But on the bright side, there are hummingbirds outside my door. They are my companions. I'm thinking of moving the bird feeder indoors, Be cool to have hummers flying around my motel room. And if they pee on the ceiling?.... it's not a big deal.

I’ve always been a sort of loner. I didn’t have a problem being lonely until I was in recovery for while. Now it is like an elephant in the room at times. But I would rather be alone if it meant someone being on my arse all the time, like it was in my first marriage. Always waiting for the shoe to drop helped put me over the edge into anxiety world. Never again.

I am close to 50 and used to being alone. Sometimes I wish I had someone to enjoy life with. I attract the wrong type of people as well. I have my music community friends online, I have a few meetup groups I go to occasionally, I look forward to my medical day center reopening 1 day when all Covid-19 variations pass. I have one much older friend I go out with occasionally. He is always broke and his phone is not in service lately. People can be a source of anxiety.

When I am involved with people I find myself taking care of every one else.
I Choose to give my love to few people because I do not attract people who give back as much as they gain from me emotionally or physically and it can be emotionally draining when there is no 50/50. I take relationships very seriously. Anyone can hug, say they love you, or show brief affection. How many really mean it? When we have self love we are content and do not need other's to make us feel good about ourselves..
