Is it normal to be a loner?

I have always been a loner, not always by choice. Ever since childhood I felt that I just never fitted in and felt different from the others, though I have indeed tried to be included. I keep myself to myself these days and it can be quite lonely I'm used to it I can't see it changing. I do socialise occasionally though I don't always feel comfortable with it. Is it normal?

    Plenty of people are loners. But at least you make an effort to socialize, I think that's healthy.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I'm the same. It's whatever your happy with. Now, if it bothers you then I would encourage you to try to be more social, but if your you cool with it then it's cool.

    I'm not a loner but I always feel like I'm surrounded by idiots

    I am too! I used to beat myself up about it all the time because I would compare myself to others and think that there was something wrong with me. Then as I got older I realized that I like to be alone every now and then. Don't compare yourself to anyone! If that's what makes you you then embrace it! Try to get out there every once and a while. It's healthy to socialize a bit. Your gunna have to do it when you eventually have a full time job.

    Completely normal. I am a loner and I only really enjoy socializing with the people I am close. Sometimes I feel so alone I think I wanna try and be the social highlight so I try to make new friends then I am reminded why I don't enjoy people and go back to being alone. Life is better when you keep to yourself.

    Totally normal. I like to keep to myself and do my own thing most of the time, too. Although I do go out and socialize sometimes, just not as much as a lot of other people.

    Here i go again on my own.
    Going down the only road i've ever known.
    Like a drifter i was born to walk alone.
    But i've made up my mind.
    I ain't wasting no more time.
