He was welcome everywhere he went, and was well-aware of his inability to tolerate solitude. He felt no inclination to be alone and avoided it as far as possible; he didn't really want to become any better acquainted with himself.

On his own he was frosty, no use to himself at all, like a match left lying in its box. ~Stefan Zweig

I was never one to go up to someone as a five- or six-year-old and say, "Hello, my name's Paul, will you be my friend?"
