Summary

This quote reflects the perpetual conflict within a person's desires for solitude and socialization. It suggests that the individual may feel unsatisfied regardless of their state of companionship. The person yearns for company when alone, seeking connection and companionship, but once surrounded by others, their desire for solitude resurfaces, seeking space and autonomy. It highlights the paradoxical nature of human emotions, whereby our wants and needs often change depending on our circumstances, leaving us somewhat discontented in both scenarios.
