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

Well its not wrong to like being alone, it is juss your personality type, and there is nothing like bad personality, every personality is good in some way. But avoiding socialising even when necessary is not healthy, after all we are humans and we have to depend.

Not at all! As long as you're happy and safe, there is nothing wrong with taking time for yourself! We all need a break from the people we surround ourselves sometimes, especially if you're taking time to do something you love.

No, everyone prefers different things, it is perfectly okay to enjoy spending time alone. Does not make you wrong or anything, just makes you, you.

Hello, I think that everyone is different, some people prefer the company of others and some are introverts, and that's totally fine! I'll suggest you don't isolate from the world for a long time, that I'll harmful for your health.

No, there's nothing wrong with that, you are most probably an introverted person who prefers time by themselves rather than being surrounded by people.

Of course not! Many people-such as myself- prefer to have some alone time as well as social time. Wanting to be alone is not (and never will be) a bad thing. If you feel that you need that social interaction to be healthy but don't want it, you should probably talk to someone about it, yet wanting to be alone sometimes in no way makes you bad or 'wrong.'

I don't think that there is anything wrong with you for preferring to be alone. I think that it is important to socialize with your peers every once in awhile, but there shouldn't be a problem for choosing some alone time to yourself. Sometimes, people especially those who are introverted, are content with solitude.

Absolutely not. Some people are energized by spending time with others and some are drained by it. You may just be more of an introvert and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that as long as you are happy and feel fulfilled. The only time there is a concern is when you are isolating yourself due to possibly depression.

Not at all! It being with other people is socially draining, it could mean that you're an introvert. If it's not draining but you just prefer time alone, then it's simply that: a preference. There's nothing wrong with it, as long as you're polite when letting others know that you'd rather be by yourself.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
