I'm very gregarious, but I love being in the hills on my own

Summary

This quote illustrates a paradoxical nature, where the individual acknowledges their enjoyment of social interactions ("gregarious"), yet expresses a fondness for solitude in natural environments ("being in the hills on my own"). It suggests that while they appreciate and thrive in the company of others, they also find solace, freedom, and contentment when venturing into the serene beauty of nature, finding a sense of peace and calmness away from the hustle and bustle of social interactions.
