to recharge and replenish the soul, is not neurotic. It is, indeed, healthy.According to Psychology Today, "Loneliness is marked by a sense of isolation. Solitude, on the other hand, is a state of being alone without being lonely and can lead to self-awareness."
That’s fairly well-put. Better still this quote from Henry David Thoreau’s Walden: "I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude."
from John Mark Eberhart: The Kansas City Star: The very hours when solitude grows
