Personally, as someone who hates highways for personal reasons, I partially blame CT’s road construction. In the areas I drive around in (central/northern CT) there are tons of merges and exits on both sides of the highway. I’m not the type of person you’re describing, but the right lane in this state can be really stressful with double merge/exits happening within the same short stretch of road.
In the south highway lanes tend to be much more stable, presumably due to a lower population density. It’s much easier to sit in the right lane with cruise control on if I only want to drive 5 over. In CT I’m basically forced to frequently lane swap.
