I'm 23, I like to be alone. I'm pretty much always thinking of my art work, which seems to be my life, and i really don't have any friends at the moment. I keep reassuring myself that i'm just a loner type, and tell myself not to get caught up in the media's portrayl of 'normal', because there is none! But I feel very strange...

No such thing as normal. Are you happy? If yes, then, don't worry. If not, then have a think about why not and try and find some way of changing it. You sound sad that you don't have more friends, but are you too caught up in your art work to keep in touch? Do you need to put your art work second occasionally to get out and make some new friends, try an evening class, join the gym, go for a walk in the park, make some phone calls to old friends- you never know where it might lead.

This was in my horoscope a while ago. "Reach out and make an effort to be more social. While privacy is normally your favored state, camaraderie will feel increasingly comfortable, especially if you surround yourself with people who are on your wavelength. "....But the truth of life is this"... ; ...
In the beginning God divided all life into two groups...the winner\users and the giver\loners. Life is created by an excellent design but there is a percentage failure. Those that feel different from everyone else really are. They are a small group called the outsiders. They will struggle greatly in life to keep afloat. God will actually help them if they honestly try to learn what the main force called the users do in life and the rules that they follow. The outsider stands out as different socially . It is normal if your body doesn't adapt easily to the ways of the majority then you don't like their way of living. You will be shunned at best or severely pressured at worst. There is an insult unto death from friends and family. I hope you never have to deal with that. Learn who your kind of people are and be safe in a safe place.

There is nothing wrong with being a loner, but you should still have friends, even on the other end of the phone if you can't be bothered to see them, just for the times when you fancy a chat and get rid of the "strange" feeling which is probably loneliness.
Bear in mind though that friends phone you too!

There is no such thing as `normal` we are all individual with the choice of what we want to to/be.
If you feel you need friends I am sure there are people who you can approach. If you enjoy your art and your own company that also is fine.
There is one good point about being a loner , you are never let down or have an argument.
Enjoy your life how you want to, this is not a rehearsal, you only get the one chance.

You're an artist. Unlike any other creature. Artists are not normal, that's why the creative inspirations and remarkable works are born. You're not like regular people, no way. You don't drudge through life thinking about the mundane, or seeing the same things over and over. You see and hear and feel better than normal people. You're BETTER than normal. Be happy for your gifts!

there is nothing wrong with enjoying your own company.
are you really Happy that it is this way though- you seem to think there might be a problem?
if you're happy then don't worry about it and if it's bothering you then start to make small changes like accepting offers to work nights out etc. I'm sure a lot of people would be pleased to have you as a friend.

i`m 35 and i`ve spent most if not all of my life on my own, the only people i see regularly are people i work with, i have no friends outside of work and i spend my weekends at home on a computer, although i do go out cycling now and again, but even then i`m on my own, i am a loner and although i would like to find myself a girlfriend, i know i never will, i don`t need to be told to go out and sociallise, and you call me sad all you like, but at least i know i`m happy and that what is important in my life, you need to work out what is important in your life and go for it.

I wouldn't worry about it.
You seem quite into your art and if that is satisying then stick with it. The best art requires total commitment.
You will meet people through pursuing your interests.

If you like being alone then it's fine...if you are lying to yourself then it's not.
I personally prefer to be alone but it doesn't make me feel strange.
