Is it normal to be happiest when on your own.

I've realised that I am happier when I'm on my own than if I'm with other people. Sometimes if people are watching a TV show in the living room I leave and watch the exact same thing but alone in my room. When I'm alone I am much more carefree, I don't have to worry about what I look like or what anyone might think of me and I am just free to act however I want. When I'm alone I feel so much more relaxed and at ease. I hear some people talking about being afraid of being alone and i just don't understand it at all since I just love to be on my own. Is this normal?

    Sounds like me. I've always rather to be by myself. It's perfectly normal.

    You might be what is known as an introvert or introverted. There's nothing wrong with that.

    I'm like that too. I wish I could be as happy around other people as I am when I'm alone and lost in my own little world.

    Some people (myself included) simply enjoy solitude; it's perfectly normal.

    it is normal but at the same time why do you bother putting on a show for others?

    Me too. Well..., sometimes. It definitely makes me feel like I can just sit back and relax. Not putting on a show for anybody. No need to entertain anyone. Just me, myself, and I. Lost in my own thoughts.
