That is true, it's very different for everyone. At the first retreat I attended I also enjoyed the silence and I felt very peaceful. That's why I thought I'd probably feel the same now. But I guess it just wasn't the right time for me now.
Do you still meditate after the retreat? Since then I meditate regularly and much longer than before.
Sending metta to you too :)
