    I am just like you!
    I'm 30 now, but been like that all my teens years also.
    Even now, even being in a relationship and all I still love the time when I am alone with myself. I discovered that I long for time when I can be alone, with nobody to bother me, annoy me or irritate me. I need my solitude like I need air. I long for it when I cannot have it.
    I like the walks by myself, the silence, the time to think etc.
    And I don't enjoy being around people much.
    I get lonely at times, but I get over it quickly.
    I like to do what I want when I want without anybody questioning me, might also be the reason why I don't want to get married, love the independence.
    I might be a misanthrope, but I love the way I am :)

    I used to feel that way, I had no problem at all with staying at home by myself and not seeing my friends. However, times change and now I'm more social than I've ever been in my life. I think it's a phase, and it'll pass once you begin college/uni.

    I've felt the same way before, every time friends would come over I felt suffocated, but on the other hand many times I'll feel so lonely. Maybe you just need to hang out with different people, different friends, maybe more people who you actually gel with. The people who I felt suffocated around, didn't have the interests that I do, which made them feel foreign to me and I wasn't comfortable around them.

    We prefer that you isolate yourself.

    Yes, I'm like that too. When I'm home alone is when I'm happiest. It's caused me to lose contact with friends though :/

    I think the fact that you recognize and embrace this about yourself gives you an edge on life in general. I applaud you!
