I'm gonna sound like a big fucking weirdo for saying this, but I would have kinda liked this as a kid. I've always had this strange interest in isolation, like some kind of reverse claustrophobia. I'd even hang out in bathroom stalls just for the brief moment of solitude. Can't tell you how many times I've been approached because I was eating lunch alone and they felt bad for me. Sometimes a dude just prefers the company of his own thoughts. Good intent, but so obnoxious.
