Is it normal that i love to be alone?

I have a month off from school and work, and have spent maybe 80% of it hanging out in my room, reading books, trying to learn the sewing machine and scrawling poems onto leftover flash cards. My friends call me to do stuff a couple times a week, and I usually accept because I do enjoy having someone to pass a bowl or just talk to every once in a while. However, I can't wait to get back to my room and finish the latest book I dove into or try to sew something in a straight line. Also, when it's a party invite- I almost never go. I'm not a snob but I just can't get a kick out of them, coke leaves me flat and I don't like getting that drunk. It doesn't feel good, and the next day is worse. Parties used to be nerve-wracking, but now they're just a bore. I tend to be very quiet and have maybe two friends plus my boyfriend in the college town I live in. I'm not very integrated into the scene but find it very hard to care... There is just this nagging feeling like I SHOULD care, since most people seem to be very caught up with image and "networking," wtf that means. I don't even have a facebook. Am I normal?

  • Shit, you're just like me.
    My mom tells me it's unhealthy. I just don't like going out. I don't even like people that much.

  • I like spending time alone. I'm far from a social person, I like spending my time alone either listening to music with a mixed drink or studying the 3rd Reich.

  • What you described is completely normal in my books. You do go out once in a while. You read, its not a bad thing... I myself never drink had alcohol any more but rather drink white wine, reselling, sweet and doesn't give a hang over :) all my gf in fact made white wine a drink of choice.

  • I love being alone too but after a long time (years), it can be a bad habit to break.
