Why does solitude change people so much?

I’m genuinely curious and would love outside perspectives. I’ve noticed that spending time alone (by choice, not isolation) seems to change how people think, feel, and move through life.
For those who’ve experienced it—what changed for you? Was it positive, uncomfortable, or both?
I’m asking respectfully and with an open mind!

From my side, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so That’s just my read on it.

If you zoom out, this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that’s the part people are stuck on Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s the impression it gives me.

Putting bias aside, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome which turns this into more of a debate That part stands out. We’ll see how people react over time.

On the surface, this solves one problem while creating another and that tension shows up immediately That’s what changes the context.

From a neutral view, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven That’s the key detail here. At least from my perspective.

If we’re being honest, this reads stronger on paper than in practice and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s what makes this interesting. Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s the impression it gives me.
