Studies show people in groups are more relaxed than loners. This is not a ding against loners but there are pretty significant evolutionary drivers for conformance. It stands to reason we'd be biased.

True, but the other side of this is the bystander effect - wouldn't you like to be the one person who acted when everyone else stood by?

Not that it would be very relaxing.
