So I have to disagree with your comments.

The main difference is, when people say they live alone, and they have really good long term friends, that's not the same thing as not having close friends because you have hangups, and I think when people say they opt for a solitary lifestyle, they don't
really have a solitary lifestyle at all. By the same token, people who really do have solitary lifestyles live in a lonesome way because they don't have the stuff for close relationships. Hence from my perspective of being solitary, other people who talk about being solitary aren't really talking about the same thing as me, but I still get along with my siblings very well, and I think I have some closeness with their kids, but from a distance that isn't getting involved - though I will be supporting my niece playing in Sydney's Premier Soccer League this year, without being a part of her space, but I think she'll still appreciate me being interested enough to catch a game without getting up in the mix.
