love!!! I've also really never spent much of my life alone — lots of siblings, always roommates, moved in with my partner young. I have to actively seek out solitude, and it is really uncomfortable for me, but I'm trying to get better at it, so thanks for inspiring me :') also ty for the articles you shared, saving those for later!
