I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so

Summary

This quote reflects the speaker's preference for solitude over companionship. They express a profound appreciation for being alone and suggest that they have not encountered any companion who offers the same level of satisfaction and companionship as solitude does. It implies that the speaker finds solace, comfort, and fulfillment in their own company, suggesting a deep introspective nature or a tendency to find peace in solitude. They value the quiet and personal connection they experience when left to their thoughts and find it incomparable to any social interactions they have encountered.
