Does this make sense?

[Shinya Maki]

Hello, everyone.

I think #1 below is appropriate in the blank of the sentence below. Is #2 also appropriate? Does it make sense?

I feel happier when I’m reading poems all by myself in my room than ( ).

1. when I am doing anything else.
2. when I would be doing anything else.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Shinya Maki

#1 is correct.
#2 doesn't sound natural.
