I don't know, its brain wiring I guess. I know people who absolutely hate it.

New things are always addicting. New experiences release dopamine, which is the pleasure chemical in your brain.

New experiences include: being free, doing what you want, being creative, being whatever you want to be.

After a life time of abuse of the self and by others, solitude is often a new experience and a blessing.

For some it's the idea of having more free time to pursue what they want. Solitude could mean various things for different people. Why I enjoy solitude is simple, I start questioning ideas, reading books, playing on my guitar. Pretty much doing things I came to enjoy doing where if their where people around it would hinder my ability to do them.

Addiction is a psychological and physical inability to stop consuming a chemical, drug, activity, or substance, even though it is causing psychological and physical harm.

So unless you uncontrollably crave or seek solitude and solitude is causing you psychological and physical harm, it's not addictive. I would even presume that it's enhancing.

Nobody knows the answers to some questions.

Because we're brought up to talk a certain way, act a certain way, look a certain way... all so that we will be socially accepted.

It's liberating when you break through all that programming. When you realize that you can be whoever you want and do whatever you want.

But that doesn't change the fact that people are stupid, panicky, judgmental, violent creatures. Solitude alleviates all of that.

Why is solitude addicting? Because in this day and age it's the only way a man can safely and definitively be free.
