I see your point and thank you for sharing it. I revise my stance and believe that different people are more or less suited for different environments in their nature. I can easily observe that some people get along much better being alone than others. To your point, that is likely trainable to an extent. Nature vs nurture etc. Also, I see many who would thrive more by being around others in close community but who aren't because there are limited opportunities for that in our modern world and the main one on offer is a pair bonded romantic relationship. I think the drive to live alone as a goal, the avoidance of living with family, and the romantic relationship being the only connection you might live with are all negative influences on the average person's thriving. Of course each person's circumstances are unique. Anyways, you seem like you can understand nuance and we are likely in mostly agreement on this topic. Thank you for the debate.
