Anxiety when home alone

The other day I was discussing with another person (online) about a certain med that we both took. I take Alprazolam before going to university every morning (0,25mg) to reduce my anxiety (I get anxious in quiet places with a lot of people).

The person I was talking to takes about 1mg, but he does it on his weekends. I asked him why and he said that he got anxious when he was alone at home with nothing to do.

I didn't have a chance to continue the conversation but I was wondering how that can trigger anxiety. I don't understand how having nothing to do can trigger anxiety, from my perspective it only makes someone feeling bored.

Can anyone enlighten me on this?

I think I can understand that. I know if I'm home alone with nothing to do I can get agitated and all my negative thoughts associated with my SA become.. Louder I guess?
