When was the last time you loved to be alone

From a psychological view point, people who like to be alone are called Introverts. An introvert is a person who is usually fine with being alone, have only few but very close friends, doesn't talk much, great thinker, smart, mysterious, loves doing things that doesn't involve interactions with other people like reading, meditating, thinking...he's usually not into social things like parties, hangouts, groups because it interferes with his own world in his mind, and it's hard for him to think clearly when there are other people talking around him.

But there are many great people in the world who are completely introverts, nothing wrong with being that smart away mysterious and interesting guy in the corner, some may consider it very attractive to some of the opposite sexes, others may find it lonely boring and antisocial. And the only problem with this life style is if you are shy or have a fear of social interactions because this can affect various areas of your life and you need to work on that as soon as possible.

?I was someone who preferred my own company and a small group of close friends in high school. Almost two decades later, guess what, I still prefer that my own company and a small group of close friends. Why? That's who I am. You and I and about 16-50% of the worlds population lean toward introversion. Meaning they prefer to interact with smaller groups, one on one, and are introspective so they need plenty of time alone to process information and because they enjoy solo activities. It does seem like most people are extroverts, considering people tend to believe having ten millions virtual friends and a lot of real "friends", constantly talking, constantly socializing, constantly "doing" something natural to everyone when it's just not natural to us introverted types.

Generally introverts tend to prefer quality time over quantity. For example, I and many introverts tend to prefer not to socializing at any given moment for too long. My personal threshold is about 3 hours with small to large groups. The larger the group, the less "fuel" I have to keep socializing. After that, like most introverts, I get overwhelmed and I just stop listening and caring. I need to be alone to decompress and process. I suspect you might feel similar.

Therefore, you’re perfectly fine, perfectly normal. There are multiple types of people in the world, though it seems like society culture promotes and rewards extroversion. Maybe the only problem is that you are worrying about someone who might think you are a geek because you are always be alone. But the point is, who do you live for? If you are fine with being alone, why you must do something that is annoy you? I'm a introvert too, every time my parents tell me should be more outgoing I will be puzzled. I don't know why everyone ask me to be outgoing. I like reading, I like writing, I always be alone, but I enjoy it. Cheers!
