Anyone like to ride alone?

I'm a newbie cyclist and I'm loving it so far. I tend to really enjoy riding alone because it helps me stay present and since I'm still learning, being alone lets me process how my body moves on the bike and creates a mind body connection. I get to be in the zone and make notes on what to improve on next time and what I've improved on since last time. I also enjoy pushing myself and seeing how I respond. The last time I rode with someone they were a little too all over the place and I found myself slowing down for them or cutting my ride short because they got tired (they tend to under fuel) and they were quite risk averse so I didn't get to be in the zone and improve. I've always enjoyed my walks and runs alone so I'd like to know if anyone else feels the same? Maybe if I was with a stronger person it would be a different experience?
