I get a sense of satisfaction from pushing myself and feeling more in tune with what my body is doing in space - you have to pay close attention to form, muscle exertion, etc. It's meditative, in a way.
On the flip side, I don't do well in team sports because I'm clumsy with bad eyesight - I have a tendency to blame myself for being a burden on my team.
You don't have to work out solo if you don't want to. Most sports qualify as cardio - you can do that instead of jogging. Besides, you can always strength train with buddies and hype each other up.
