How old is the person who asked the question? From what I can tell, they did a pretty good job, and I don't see anything obvious that would make them worried.
But the questioner is still a little concerned. What's the issue here?
"I'm someone who prefers to be alone. I always feel like time passes quickly, like I'm on a long vacation. I worry that I'll become more introverted and lonely." I'm not sure I understand how "self-consistent solitude" leads to "one's personality becoming more introverted and lonely."
If we just look at the numbers, being alone means being by yourself. In terms of actual interactions with others, there must be more than just one person. One person may seem a bit lonely compared to multiple people.
"I don't want to find a partner or meet someone because I'm also worried that guys will have sexual thoughts about me. Since I'm relatively good-looking, I'm worried," does this mean that because you are relatively good-looking and don't want to find a partner, you don't want to meet people? Are you afraid that if you meet someone, they will be attracted to your appearance and have sexual thoughts about you, and then want to develop an intimate relationship?
It seems like the questioner thinks that everyone she meets is a boy, that they're all unmarried, that they haven't found a romantic partner, and that they're looking for one. Is there any chance of that in reality?
"What concerns me is that if I continue like this, I'll become more passive. I used to be great at socializing." "When did you used to be great at socializing?"
"I am a person with a strong sense of self, and I also think it is important to love yourself and be yourself. However, I am increasingly aware that if I continue like this, if I don't pay attention to others and only care about myself, I will become friendless and loveless. I wonder if the questioner has inadvertently equated 'a strong sense of self, loving yourself, and being yourself' with 'selfish' and 'people who only have eyes for themselves.'"
If that's the case, it's no surprise that no one wants to be in a long-term relationship with such a person.
"I've been talking on the phone with family and friends for more than an hour recently, talking about my innermost feelings. I even talk a lot with my mother, treating her as a close friend. But I'm quite afraid because we have a generation gap, and I feel that I won't have time to start a business, and at the same time I will be influenced by her." Did the questioner do this deliberately because she was afraid that she "would become more and more passive"? How much of your "time to start a business" is taken up by these activities?
What areas have been affected by the "generation gap with your mother," in your opinion?
If I answer the question literally, it's pretty straightforward. Just allocate a certain amount of time to each of the three parts, and at different stages of life, or according to the actual situation, allocate different time ratios, and it'll basically be solved.
From the text, it seems like the questioner is someone who sets high standards for themselves and is pretty strict with themselves. They may even pursue perfection in everything. With that kind of standard to live up to, it might be tough to solve.
I hope the questioner will be more flexible on their journey of self-growth, able to enter and exit different stages of life with ease.
I really hope my reply has been helpful. Best wishes!

I can totally relate to finding comfort in solitude with a pet that's always by your side. It sounds like you've created a cozy and fulfilling routine at home. Balancing work and personal life is tough, especially when starting out. But it seems like you're doing a great job staying true to yourself while exploring what makes you happy.
It's interesting how much our living situations can shape our personalities. Your introverted tendencies seem to be flourishing during this time. Perhaps embracing both sides of yourself, the social butterfly you once were and the content loner you are now, could offer the best of both worlds. Finding a middle ground might help ease those worries about becoming too isolated.
You have such a rich inner world with all the activities you enjoy. It's okay to cherish that part of you. At the same time, it might be worth considering how to gently reintroduce social interactions into your life. Maybe start small, like meeting one friend for coffee or joining an online community that shares your interests.
Your concerns about becoming more negative and passive are valid. However, loving oneself and doing what you love is so important. You could try setting some goals that push you slightly outside your comfort zone. This way, you can maintain your selflove while also challenging yourself to grow in new directions.
It's wonderful that you have deep conversations with family and friends. These connections can be incredibly grounding. If you feel a generation gap with your mother, perhaps you can find common ground by sharing aspects of your life that resonate with her experiences. It's a twoway street; you influence each other.
