Alone time is a biological need.
It is not a sign of social failure. A person needs to recharge their energy to be present with others.
Alone time helps a person recharge their energy. This energy is like a 'social battery.' When the battery is low, a person needs time alone. This time alone is not a sign of loneliness. It is a way to prepare for social interactions. A recharged battery helps a person be more engaged with others.
A student feels tired after many group projects. The student tells a friend, 'My social battery is low. I need to spend tonight alone to recharge.' The student understands that alone time helps them be a better friend later.
