Is it normal to feel like you can never be close to someone?

The other day I was watching my friend and her boyfriend spending time together. They were practically together every second of the day, most of that time spent hugging and talking. The entire time I was thinking of how I am too free of a spirit to be clingy to someone, and I might never have a proper boyfriend. I then realized I will probably never be that close to anyone, being the way I am.

I know there are a ton of things you can do in a relationship, but I'm the kind of person that *really* likes to be alone and go off to do my own thing.

So I want to know, Is this normal?

    I think a lot of people feel this way but sometimes you just click and you want to spend every minute of every day with the certain somebody.

    Goodluck.

    I don't think this necessarily means you'll have a problem with getting close to someone, maybe just some people. I'm very similar to you, but it's never been a major problem for me. I still feel very close to certain people. I can't be like that with everyone, though, because it does feel intrusive to me when people are clingy. I don't like feeling like I don't have any freedom or independence, it makes me very uncomfortable. I don't think we're the only ones either.

    Although I love things like hugs, I tend to keep to myself, and it usually just happens to me, if that makes any sense. I try not to worry too much about this, and I don't think you should either. It is possible to be close with people, which I know for a fact because I am close with certain people. These people are the ones who know that's just the way I am and it's not because I'm cold or uninterested, which is how I come across to some people. Don't worry, there's someone out there for most people.:)
