Is it normal to think that i'm alone?

I live life with the belief that I am alone and that all I have is myself. This might sound derivative or cliché but it has been easy living with this mentality. I'm not sure when I developed this mindset but I've had it since elementary school. I don't feel responsible for anyone nor do I feel dependent on anyone. The only person I care about is me (with my mother, and siblings the only exception). I hope this is isn't misinterpreted as being anti-social but at the same time I can't say that I'm any good at it either. Whenever I meet someone, I just put on facade and a fake smile to play along. I just feel that by only concerning myself with myself is pragmatic, organized, sufficient, and logical. It may be selfish, but it's not as if I tell people to "fuck off" or not help them whenever they ask. In a weird way(?) living with this mentality enables me to live with a sense of security and safety.

    I don't know if it's normal or not but it sounds very sad to me: why cut yourself from the whole of humanity just because it's "efficient"? Safe & secure but extremely limiting

    I feel the same way, i never thought anybody felt this way either.

  • I have a few close friends who I see occasionally, but otherwise I'm a loner, too. Close relationships just won't work for me.

    You are alone. Unless there's someone else in there with you, then you should seek professional help.
