I guess I am the opposite I enjoy group rides. I enjoy spending time with others that have the same interest. I have been a ride captain in my club for 20 years. Enjoy teaching new riders how to become a better rider. I spend many days riding workouts everyday if the week. Indoors and out but always try to ride at least to group rides a week. I always learn something from other and enjoy meeting like minded riders. If you ride solo all the time you are really missing out on the whole rest of the hobby.
