you're jumping to conclusion, my dear friend. i have spent more time alone and by myself than you can imagine, and i still do. it's one of the best things to happen to a human being.
now, being alone (stationary) isn't the same as doing an activity alone. you seem to conflate the two. if you think traveling solo is fun, well you're being sold bullshit at best, worst you're acquiescing to a terrible experience and trying to find joy in it. like a prisoner-author talking about the joys of being locked up because it afforded them the necessary solitude to contemplate.

Maybe, just maybe, people experience things differently than you, ever thought about that?
Then there are people that thoroughly enjoy being by themselves. It doesn't mean that they don't ever need company, just a lot of the time they feel a bliss being by themselves doing their own business. There is no overlap with that feeling and loneliness.
