I think it depends mostly on your personality type
I’ve always felt like more of a loner type myself, all my life I’ve watched the people around me soak up each other’s attention always feeling like the odd one out.. I’ve also always felt comfortable spending time alone with my thoughts, which seems to be something a lot of people are uncomfortable with or afraid of, particularly extroverted people
Not sure what made me this way, I spent a lot of time reading books as a kid so I learned to paint my own internal pictures pretty early on in life, maybe that has something to do with it I dunno
I still kinda feel like the odd one out a lot of the time, maybe even more so now, I feel like the meth abuse kinda fucked my mind up a bit and made me even more introverted somehow, I rarely/never crave social interaction as a pastime these days, most of the time I would rather be alone.. I believe it’s also the reason I’ve been single for so long, I just feel like I’ve become so introverted that it would be very hard for me to open up enough to someone for them to become attracted to me or even for me to have the desire to do so
Plus I just don’t do jack shit other than go to work and go home so that probably doesn’t help either
Not that I’m really tore up about it or anything, I do miss having a significant other but I know from past experience that having a SO isn’t a magic bullet to curing your mental issues and it has its downsides as well

Well having an SO isn't a fix and many people don't understand that. Whatever problems you had before the relationship will be carried into it. Oddly enough you know you're ready for one when you don't need one.

what one perceives is based partly on what one believes is true - and what one believes is based partly on what one truly perceives.

Not exactly. People believe they'll be alive tomorrow but they can't truly perceive that. Also perception doesn't necessarily entail belief.

Nothing wrong with being an introvert or wanting to spend the majority of your time alone.
You do require some level of human interaction for a fully functioning, healthy mind, though. The hardest part is when you know this but it's still a challenge. No fault or judgement OP.

I don’t really see there to be any lessons in such actions. Though I guess if someone believes as such then I guess it’s as worthwhile as anything else
