I notice these things when I go on boring vacations to Erie, PA. I need SOMETHING to "idle" on. Be it the TV guide channel, a book, the internet, music, just something other than completely nothing. When I go to Erie there is absoulutely nothing to do other than listen to music or use my dad's laptop. As much as I like music, I can't listen to it 24 hours a day without doing anything else. So I can't live without something to do, there has to be something even if it's kind of boring, it can just set the mood for daydreaming which is fun. I couldn't live without privacy either, I take it for granted, I avoid everyone and like to be alone often. When i'm in a hotel with my family I realize how nice it is to go into my room and lock the door. I could probably be fine without friends as long as I have an internet connection.
