Is it normal to keep myself to myself?

16 Comments

I like being alone, I like my own privacy and thought, I like peace, I find excuses not to join " Friends" and get territorial towards them knocking at my door, Im quite self centred. It doesnt make me feel loney, I feel quite normal with it, but genarally people normally go out with friends and go places, If I want to go to place I go alone in my solitary ways and enjoy the peace of it.

Is this normal to like keeping myself to myself?

    you are just the type of person who enjoys being by themselves. you are lucky not to depend on other people :)

    I am like you, a lone wolf or whatever. I don't think of myself as self-centered or selfish, the universe doesn't revolve around me. But I like being by myself, keeping my thoughts private, maintaining my "poker-face". And I get to know myself better. Sometimes there are things I do that even I can't explain. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be alone, enjoy it ;)

    I registered for this site when I read this question just so I could comment on your question...

    When I read this question I got that feeling I sometime get when I really really relate to something. It was almost as if I was reading my own words.

    You are eerily similar to me. I have friends from work but I almost never see them unless I am at work. I really am happy when I am by myself. This is not to say that I don't somewhat enjoy company but I really prefer maybe hanging out with one or two people if anything and those occurrences are few and far between. But I couldn't be happier, I think. I really prefer spending my time alone or with one single special person, such as a girlfriend.

    total support here:)I understand cuz I enjoy every minute with myself only..other people just make me obnoxious,nervous and bored to death..in fact,every time friends come by or worse my ex boyfriend somehow unconsciously Im starting to yawn and watch at the clock and calculating how much time will they stay..being alone doesnt mean being lonely..Im feeling more lonely when Im surrounded with people

    It's perfectly normal to enjoy the company of one's self. I can't stand my friends, they always talk about boring and pointless things. They love to talk about their lives and past experiences, and I do pretend to care. In all truth though, I constantly make upexcuses so they will leave me to myself, one of very few people who truly interests me.

    I only have one person whom i actually consider my close friend. Their are people who consider me a close friend, and sometimes (regretably), their best friend. It sickens me that someone who, though i wouldn't shed a tear if they died, would hold me so close, and in such high regards.

    Are you normal? Really, who's to say?
    Does it matter? Not in the slightest, you are yourself, that's all you are and all you'll ever be, so you might as well make the most of yourself.

    I, too, enjoy being alone. The day zips by so quickly. But I'm an only child and am used to it.
    I have some friends who drag me out, and then I can't wait to get home, get comfortable with me 2 dogs who love me unconditionally. I know that it is good to get out but I like my solitude. I too am not self-centered - and like people. However,some people mistake it for loneliness - they are wrong. Last year, at 64 I decided to go to local college, and I'm loving it. I have lots of homework and assignments, the students like me, but when I get degree I'm working out of my home! A social butterfly I'm not, but like no more than 2 good friends at a time.

    I like my privacy. I often enjoy myself more when my wife is gone a day. I still start to miss her after that day is over.
