Recently I was asked to describe my dream house. “Cozy, in the mountains, and most importantly, away from people”, is how I replied.
Whilst many people I know love nothing more than being in the company of others, I much prefer to be alone.
I’ve often pondered why this is. Why do some people prefer to be alone? After all, aren’t we meant to be social creatures?
Research has suggested that loners could even be more intelligent. In this article, we’ll discuss why intelligent people prefer to be alone.

Generally speaking, human beings are indeed a sociable species. We have relied on cooperation in order to survive and to prosper.
It’s no surprise then that science says the more we socialize, the happier we tend to be.
