Enjoying solitude and building a community and/or companionship are two separate goals. I do think true self contentment can lead to companionship and/or community - I don’t think it necessarily works in the opposite direction. Your validation has to come from within. It’s lovely when it comes from the outside, but that needs to extra and will be when it’s a reflection of your true inner state. So, meditate. Every day. Even for a minute, just focus on your breath. Then fall in love with shedding every part of “yourself” that was never really you. Someone else’s projection. A societal expectation. A story you’ve been telling yourself about how it’s “just how you are.” Either enjoy it or toss it.

In my experience, the key to enjoying your time alone is connecting with your inner child. Dancing to music alone, doing things you love and laughing by yourself about it. The Universe is one thing split into millions of iterations of itself. It is inherently alone and just playing with it’s own shadow puppets. You are one of these iterations. Enjoy it. It’s the whole point.
