Is it normal to enjoy being alone?

I need to set time aside to be with myself. If I hang out with people too much I start to get a bit irritated and I just want to sit in my room and read a book. When I get invited to parties, I'd rather be hanging with one or two people tops. Is this normal?

  • I'm exactly the same in that I prefer a couple of people to a party. The reason it seems abnormal is that most people are predominantly extroverted. But a small percentage of us are introverted, and for us, being solitary IS normal. Sounds to me like you know what's right for you, but you're second-guessing yourself. Trust your intuition and take care of yourself. :)

  • Finally someone who's just like me. Friends always said that I'm kinda boring because I prefer a chill-night with 2 ppl more than any disco or party.

  • I did this the other night. Yes it's normal, but it also aggravates a lot of ppl.

  • Totally normal. I love being alone. Some people dont understand but if I hang out with people for too long I start to get attitude because people get annoying.
