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 preferring to be alone, that just shows that you have self confidence! And plus, you should do the things you prefer.

No you are not wrong to prefer to be alone. Some people are just more independent than others. Try occasionally being with other people because in life you are with other people without a choice so try and ease your way into it

I don't think it's wrong to prefer solitude. Socialization is important, but so is knowing ourselves and being comfortable alone.

No one is ever wrong for wanting to be alone. Alone time is good for one's mental health - it is good to be able to be at peace with being with yourself and working on being at peace with the fact you need to make yourself your first priority. Not everyone enjoys the company of others and is more introverted and there is nothing wrong with that, no matter how many extroverted people may say it is wrong. I would say make some time for peers and family and friends at least on occasion however since completely isolating yourself is also unhealthy.

Everyone has times when they prefer to be alone. However, being alone too often can lead to isolation which can lead to depression. I am often alone when I go out, yet I make a conscious effort to reach out to others because it helps them feel better, and I feel better, too.

You aren't wrong for preferring that! You're simply an introvert, and there's nothing wrong with that at all. It only becomes a problem if you're alone time begins to make you feel lonely or isolated, and that's when it's a good idea to spend some time around others. Finding a healthy balance of alone time and socializing is important, and everyone's balance is different.

I think it's absolutely normal for one to want to have some alone time, but perhaps you could occasionally socialise with you peers. Whenever you feel comfortable to do so, of course.

No, of course not. It's your life and if that's what you enjoy, as long as it doesn't harm anyone, go for it.

Sometimes, I think a little alone time is a good thing. Of course, I also know that too much of anything isn't good.
