文章讨论了喜欢独处是一种难得的天赋。随着社会的发展，越来越多的人开始享受独处时光，而不是传统的社交活动。作者指出，独处与孤独是两个不同的概念：孤独是社交需求未被满足时的心理状态，而独处则是一种低社交需求的状态，个体在这种状态下感到舒适和自在。文章引用了多项研究，表明喜欢独处的人往往更聪明、更善于独立思考，并且内心世界丰富。但作者也提醒，独处需要适度，不能完全脱离社交。
The article discusses how enjoying solitude is a rare talent. As society develops, more and more people are beginning to enjoy time alone rather than traditional social activities. The author points out that solitude and loneliness are two different concepts: loneliness is a psychological state when social needs are not met, while solitude is a low-social-demand state where individuals feel comfortable and at ease. The article cites several studies showing that people who enjoy solitude are often smarter, more independent thinkers, and have rich inner worlds. However, the author also reminds that solitude should be moderate and not completely separated from social interaction.
