Sarah-Jane is one of many people who learned to be comfortable with solitude. According to the article, she once hated silence, but currently she can spend an entire weekend without receiving a single message or phone call and claims she's fine with that.

The phenomenon is becoming increasingly visible on social media, where more and more women publicly share how they learned to be alone and feel satisfied with this reality.

The article suggests this trend represents a shift in how people, especially women, view solitude and social relationships, transforming something that was previously seen as negative into a conscious and peaceful choice.

No further details are provided about Sarah-Jane's age, profession, or origin, nor are any sources or studies cited to support this trend.
