She's a kind of lonely freak. She could keep it going for three solid months, without seeing anyone, just locked up in her appartment, with NO tv, just reading books and meditating. She thinks this is good for her but I think it's bad and she should be more surrounded by other people to share her thoughts rather than stay with books all the time. What do you think of this?

For the past three months she's been spending time with me all the time and loving it. I'm worried that she'll get back to her old ways coz I'm leaving this city next month.

Does she have a job or go to school? If so, then she at least gets some interaction there. If not, then she's being quite reclusive. There's not necessarily anything wrong with that, but since she's been spending so much time with you, that suggests that she actually is lonely and does need some companionship, but may lack the social skills to find companionship on her own. I suggest you introduce her to some of your other friends, then privately ask your friends to give her a call sometimes and invite her out after you're gone.

Some people like to be lonely and it sounds like your friend likes to have time alone. As long as she is not harming herself or not kicking you out of her life it is ok. And reading is not a bad thing at all. Maybe it helps her get away from the chaos in her life. I know that this weekend I needed to get away from some problems that I have and I spent reading through the weekend and it help me get through my troubles. Just be there for her and support her choices. And it's not being weird she is just being herself. And the fact that she meditates it seems that she likes to live in peaceful and traquil environment. So just be there for her.

Your friend is lucky to have you but she must understand that you cant be her keeper for good. Each has his/her own life and at a certain time will have to let it go. Why not introduce her to one of your closest friends (with a character like yours) or probably take her to one of those ice-breakers' sessions. Perhaps she would realize that it would be timely to open up. Cant blame some people tend to be introverts due to their childhood and family background. Good luck

i used to love being a loner. i would sit all lunch during school and read by myself. she is probably just really really independant or trying to get some things figured out. i know i read all the time to escape from the sucky stuff that was going on. now i have a few good friends but i still consider myself independant. dont worry about her just because she likes to be alone. you might try to get to know her better and be a good friend, but loner types are usually really really picky. i know i was.

Has something happened recently in her life? Some tragic or dramatic? She's probably suffering from some form of post tramatic disorder. I'd drag her over to a psychiatrist and see what's wrong

not trying to sound offensive---but psychologists would call this anti-social behavior which could lead to violence, depression, suicide, and a number of other things---however that isnt true to everyone like that--but a lot of serial killers and murderers and such were anti-social or sociopaths (same thing basically)....what is she reading is where you should start---she may have problems, or she may just like being alone--there is also the possiblility of agoraphobia....
