I have a theory about that. A few points to consider:
People who didn't get enough love as a child often feel needy for affection, or else they always want to have people around for an illusion of being loved. These are the people that can't be alone without feeling extreme loneliness and depression, maybe being tormented by mistakes of the past. Also-most likely group to want to get married just for the "love" it brings.
Folks are comfortable with their natural state, their routines. If you spend a lot of time alone, you probably will enjoy it. Otherwise you'd at least make an effort to not be alone, right?. This would be maybe the "loner" category (loner by choice). Not the FAKE loners who spend time on their own because they have no social skills-these are people who actively seek alone time to reconnect with themselves. These people feel at home on their own and even desire maybe 6+ hours or more of completely alone time (that's a very conservative number based on the minimum amount of time I need in isolation, and sleeping doesn't count). I am one of these folks. I like other people, but given the choice I'd take being alone over most of them (immediate family, best friend and girlfriend being exceptions).
Eh, I forgot where I was going with this. I'm of the opinion that everyone breaks down into one of three societal categories. There are leaders, followers and loners. Leaders are essential because they marshall followers and more effectively plan and prepare tasks. Followers are also important because they are the ones that get things done while leaders are bogged down in whizzing contests with other leaders. Loners are leaders or followers who have rejected either role in favor of doing their own thing. I'm of the opinion that neither group is "better" or "worse" than the other, just different.
I guess the point I'm building to is leaders and followers both like to be AROUND people. They like to socialize. To some extent all people like to socialize, but of the three groups, loners are the most likely to have an "I can take or leave it" approach to spending time with others. Anyway, just my opinion. Hope that made sense to somebody.
