Usually do. But we all have a need for some intimate connection.
same, though I am nonNT so it makes sense. Ever since I was very little I have been a loner.
Yes but I still want my daily dose of attention (which I never get), it's a never ending cycle
I've been alone since i was a teenager so i'm used to it. There's too many stupid people and i wouldn't want to hang out with them anyway. I lost some drinking friends last weekend because i started talking about the third reich. Good riddance.
We all need social interaction, but with the right people, which happen to be difficult to find.
Some isolation is good, but years of loneliness is extremely unhealthy.
Isolation makes the world just your room which is great.
Same, if it wasn't for my stupid parents that think I'm a chad with easy life, and that I have to work hard to achieve anything, treating me like a subhuman, bullying me and shouting at me most of the time - living in the most complete denial. Sadly, love is nowhere to be found in my family, nor help.
That's because you only get negative feedback in social situations. You then lie to yourself that's better to be alone, and for ugly men that's probably true.
All of my social interactions in the past have ended with negative feedbacks. That's why I'm a loner.
An autist has no choice as I can't fit in with people, I am too quiet by nature and quiet people don't fit in with loud mouthed NT's, being alone is actually physically healthier for me as I m not anxious
I guess I have some undiagnosed mental problems. Unluckily, every time I see a therapist or a psychiatrist I get a different diagnosis.
When I'm all alone to myself I start to feel the solitude after sometime. This wasn't always the case but ever since I've became an adult it is. Flip side is that when I'm with somebody I feel irritated and wish not to be with them but at home playing vidya. There truely is no middle ground in this.
Same. Being lonely while I was a teenager was a salvation. Ever since I became an adult, I feel lots of anxiety and panic attacks due to prolonged involuntary loneliness; and it's getting worser, the oldest I am.
Adulthood was the worst part of my life, never could really fit in it.
Even now, I find many difficulties to cope with it. Having resigning parents did not help either.
