I went hiking yesterday. I really, really wouldn't have liked if someone nagged me when resting while peacefully gazing over the valley

I find it amusing how for some people the thought that someone might enjoy just being alone a while is some unthinkable Lovecraftian madness

I don't get lonely, I enjoy my solitude.

There is a difference between lonely and alone. You can be very lonely while being with a whole bunch of people, and you can be very much not lonely being all with yourself.

When I'm outdoors I often notice an internal conflict between enjoying the ability to spend the time doing exactly I want to do, and wanting to share the experience with someone.
