Is something wrong with you if you want to be alone 99.9% of the time?

Answer 1

Humans are social animals. We look for company most of the time but sometimes we prefer to be alone. There are many reason for such tendency. Some do it to regroup or sort out their thoughts/ideas. However there few people who are not uncomfortable in social groups. Such people tend to be loner. But they are not socially retarded. They prefer to think parallel to the society. These people are creative(reasoning) and more concerned about their individuality than their social status. So i guess it normal for some to be alone most of the time.

Answer 2

well its up to that person to answer that question. If you or anyone else for that matter wants to be alone 99.9% of the time then its ok. I feel that way most of the time too. I don't see it as a bad thing because yeah I know the way people can treat you sometimes and because they treat you so badly you just don't want anything to do with them. Oh yes I remember now! it was all four of my high school years. I was alone 99.9% of the time. I had no friends at all and every time during lunch I would sit in the cafeteria by myself with no one to talk to. And after I was done eating lunch I would find a place in school and just stay alone all the time. So yes I do think that its a normal thing to be alone 99.9% of the time because everyone in this world can be real jerks towards you. So yes its a good idea.

Answer 3

That depends on other factors in your life and your general state of mind.

Loner always tops the criminal profiler list. It's not in our nature as humans to withdraw from one another and retreat into solitude for 99.9% of the time.

If you grew up in a very dysfunctional environment that would be a factor to consider, if you have depression or social anxiety that would be a factor to consider.

Generally speaking, to desire that much time alone would indicate a problem elsewhere in your life. It's a coping mechanism and a way to avoid facing life.

Answer 4

WOW I wish we could just talk and not have to answer this question and then never know what happened. I went through some real stuff in my life, I became very depressed, I locked myself in my house and didn't leave for over three years. Now I go to the doctor's office and home and lock myself back in. I know it is very unhealthy but I also the only time I feel happy is at home alone!!!! If there is anything I can do to help contact me at [e-mail]. GOOD LUCK

Answer 5

Probably depens on why you withdraw. I'm a reclusive person but in my case it's because people dislike me. I was one of those kids that all the other kids hated and it's just less painful for me to be alone. You may have different reasons.

Answer 6

i Think it depends on the reasons you are wanting to be alone.
Do you want to be alone because your sad? or because you're jst that type of person? Some people like to spend time by themselves, others dont, thats just the way the world works.
But you do nned to interact with peolpe sometimes, its unhealthy to spend ALL your time alone

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

It depends on your personality. Some people just like to be alone.

Or, you could be depressed

Answer 9

Adding to what the other people have said, it is also possible that you could have some kind of personality disorder.

For example, schizoid personality disorder (don't be scared by the name) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid

Or maybe avoidant personality disorder - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avoidant_personality

Just something else to think about.

Answer 10

No. Not from the external perspective. Weak people may tell you otherwise. Internally, you may have things you want to work through and you need some temporary isolation. Give it to yourself, otherwise you'll burn out.
