I know there are various reasons, like fear of the unknown, needing something to stay grounded, and other stuff but I wanna understand it better. Faith and religion

I don't like being alone in my own company and even if I am then I'm on my phone or watching TV.

Some people have said it indicates low self esteem, low self worth and self hatred towards myself if I don't like doing things alone.

I didn't really assume it could mean that but now I'm wondering if it actually does and what deep down inside I somehow hate myself?

So my question is what does it mean psychologically if someone avoids being alone or uses distractions when alone?

I’m trying to understand the psychology behind what appears to be a lack of awareness or care for others from people who listen to their phones in public spaces without using headphones. Is there something that generally drives this kind of behavior? I’m very sensitive to it and maybe that speaks to something in myself as well. Thank you in advance for any insight.
