This is not normal but where is the line between eccentricity and neurosis if there even is a line. I have always felt sympathy for people who live like this because I had an aunt who lived in a house she had converted into a complex warren. She felt safe living this way, asked nothing in the way of entitlements and while happy to see us, was just as happy to be alone for days - weeks - months at a time. She died of natural causes in her sleep.
