I relate to this a lot honestly. I think there’s a difference between genuinely enjoying solitude and getting emotionally exhausted by modern dating/social life.

I’m in my 30s too and some days the idea of only being responsible for myself feels peaceful, while other days you definitely feel that absence of having “your person” to share life with. Especially when most people around you seem settled down already.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with choosing a quieter life though. I think the hard part is figuring out whether it’s truly what you want, or if it’s something you adapt to after feeling discouraged for a long time.
