It is often said that our personality is largely shaped by the pre-school years. If that is true, growing up alone may have a significant impact on our social preferences. Before I went to kindergarten, I spent most of my time alone, watching TV and enjoying my own company. My parents and older brother were often busy with work and school, so I had a lot of time alone. I liked being able to do whatever I wanted without having to share my toys or TV time with anyone. Starting school was a major adjustment. I dreaded the idea of interacting with others and have never really gotten used to it. Even as an adult, I prefer solitude. While I can be social, it always feels like a compromise. Being alone seems so natural. I cannot say for sure if everyone who grew up alone feels the same way. Perhaps those who were constantly surrounded by others might find solitude uncomfortable. For me, being alone has been a source of comfort and independence. That is why I prefer to WFH instead of interacting with co-workers in the office, and cherish those 2 days per week when I am more productive at home or at my town club.

omg I almost thought you were describing me except i never gave thought on the whys. always thought that's just the way i am. since u mentioned, perhaps there's some truth in it as i was also largely alone during my pre school days. dad was busy working, siblings were busy in school and even mum was busy with house work. but then again, how many kids weren't alone during their pre school days. idk

I don't mind sharing that a typical weekend at my home involves my Mrs and me working on our laptops or watching TV when we are not running errands like going to the wet market or grocery shopping. My 3 adult children will be glued to their devices and only speak to us for brief moments at the dining table. Everyone appears to be doing things in isolation at home.

My problem is that after more than 20 years of child raising, the gulf between my Mrs and me has widened so much that we have become distant from one another.

i'm sorry to hear that. have you guys tried to find more common grounds to at least connect a little better? some shared activities would somewhat help, i guess. at our age, we can't expect too much lovey dovey anymore but we want our lives to be at least more liveable.
