Am I wrong for preferring to be alone, even when I have the opportunity to spend time with my peers?

There is nothing wrong with seeking solitude -- especially so when one is an introvert (introverts generally thrive in solitude and generally become very "drained" after partaking in social gatherings of any kind). If, however, one's solitude begins to contribute to or cause depression, it is then that greater exposure to social gatherings may need to be reconsidered.

Why do you think that? It is totally ok if you like to spend time by yourself. It can be a great way to find who you are and what you really want to. It is very important, so when you feel like starting to spend time with others you are a better person, and you can be a better friend to them.

Not at all! Alone time is much needed. Sometimes you just need some space and time for yourself to get everything situated. :)

No. Sometimes we need time to ourselves to work on our hobbies, meditate, reflect, and learn about ourselves. We are the most important person in our life.

Absolutely not! It's totally okay to not want to spend some time with others. Spending time alone can be extremely beneficial, and some of us really need it to recharge. There's a lot of pressure to spend time with others, however if you're feeling like you need that alone time, take it. Listen to your needs, and follow them. They're important!

Every person is unique and they enjoy different things. If it makes you happy to be alone, then be alone.

I don't think you're wrong at all! Some people like keeping to themselves, and some like having plenty of friends around them. Everyone has a different level of socialization and varied personalities they like to interact with :)

I think some of us are just naturally inspired from the inside out. We enjoy the comfort of others but also take pleasure in enjoying our own space. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to spend time alone; if anything, alone time can help us to think and focus on areas in our lives that we might want to improve on and perhaps find ways to enhance personal growth.

Some more social people can make you feel like this is a problem but it is absolutely not. We all have different personalities and needs and for as long as you really do feel happy in your own company, there is nothing wrong with that.

No way! This is totally normal! Sometimes you just get sick of everyone and need to get away for a little bit, I think this is fine to do :)
