Do you favor your alone time more than your time with people?

Well....I'm the youngest in my family....by 10 years! People always thought I was the "spoiled" one but in the contrary I was pretty much the outcast. I didn't really relate to my sibilings because they were born in a completely different generation then me. My parents were also very strict and they wouldn't let me play outside as a kid....I always had to sneek my way out. As I grew up, I learned to be more independent, snd willing to do whatever I want without nobody telling me anything. My friends are great people, but I don't always relate to them....they never seem to want to do the same things I do...so I go alone....Its wierd though I do a lot of things alone....I workout alone, I go to the bars alone and meet people, I even went to watch the Cowboys play in Dallas all alone.....I do feel lonely though, sometimes I wish I had someone to enjoy those experiences with me but I really enjoy my soltitude...it helps me recharge and reflect on my thoughts....Is it normal to always want to be alone though??? I mean i'm not a hermit but then again I'm not always a social butterfly.

    God it's almost like I wrote this.
    I do the same thing. I go to movies, dinner, and camping alone. I just like it. I just went on a crazy spring break with 3 other girls, and when I got back today I slept for 13 hours. People exhaust me.

    Yeah, it's normal. I never got along with my siblings either. I'm the only one with a different dad so they used to do mean things to me like carry me out of the house, throw me, and lock me out. Or one would hold me down and the other two would beat me up. :/
    Then I moved out and learned to do everything on my own since I had no friends in the city I moved to. Everyone thinks it's weird because I'm a girl. Something about safety. Hahaha
