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!
