> I think when people emphasize their ability to spend an inordinate amount of time alone, they are looking at it as a unique "quality," something that sets them apart from others.
And? I'm sure that a lot of people that crave social interaction a lot view it as a positive quality. Being a sociable person is almost always viewed as a positive trait (not that people that want to be alone a lot can't be sociable, too). But when some people emphasize their preference for being alone a lot, we immediately tend to first assume that there is something wrong with them.
