Is it unhealthy to be alone all the time? Or is that just some bullshit people spew because they can't understand some people are different and prefer to be alone in their free time, and single as well.

I get told by many my life style is unhealthy because I don't go out or socialize. But I'm happy with it. I'm in decent shape (could gain 15 lbs in weight to look ripped, but honestly, i don't want a girlfriend so it doesn't matter i look fine as it is).

The only unhealthy thing i can think of is hiring a prostitute if i get overwhelmingly horny and get bored of fapping.

if you are alone then its only natural that you're gonna try to convince yourself that thats truly whats best for you. trust me, its not. i understand some of us would prefer time alone away from humanity( i am that way too) but you have to strike a "healthy" balance b/w socializing and solo-ing. you'll definitely feel more fulfilled.

just to add. i used to work and go to school 6 days a week.. most of my day was spent with or around people and, like you, i am not a social person. so on the seventh day i'd just drive up to the mountains for the whole fuckin day and get away from you people. balance was achieved

Depends on personality. Some people get really really lonely, some people go 'eh' and won't give a crap.

What's unhealthy is if you lose social perspective. Make sure you still remember how to interact with people and not be a total dip.

Or you could spend all the time alone and be happy 100% of the time.

Being alone has it's own virtues and can cleanse confusion from someone who is nothing but lost when surrounded by other people constantly.

Certain people consider being alone for weeks or even months perfectly fine, whereas a good majority would start to show negative effects.

The major element of being alone and if it's healthy is the answer to the following question:
After having been alone for what you consider 'All of the time,' do you feel satisfied with that state of being?

Ask yourself one question: Would you be happier if you were more social? Is the answer no? Then you're fine. Don't let these ignorant parrots tell you any different.

that's retarded. "I love heroine, but is all that addiction mumbo jumbo real?"

"no, ask yourself. Would you be happier on heroine? If yes, then dont let these assholes sway you"

people do things that are BAD for them all the time, and honestly believe that they are happier that way. Ask any psychologist: lonely people are less happy. The trick is finding people that accept you and that enjoy being around (give you positive energy, etc.)

I personally don't think so. I'd rather be a recluse than someone who can't live without social activity every day. The only people I see regularly are my parents (18) and I don't have any friends in my state. I do sometimes get lonely but it's usually when I'm in a really good mood and want to share the feeling with someone else as fucking gay is it sounds.
Besides, we have lots of animals so it's not so bad. I'll definitely need at least one pet after I move out.
I think that as long as you're happy with your situation, then you're fine OP. If you're in decent shape and decent looking, I'm sure you could always find some people to hang out with if the desire to ever strikes.

The truth is some people can live alone (though you're deluding yourself if you think the internet isn't supplementing you in place of actual social interaction)

I used to be perfectly happy with that lifestyle until I got into a relationship, then when it started getting rocky, I realized I was really dependent on love and affection.

So if you can be happy just spending time by yourself and occasionally socializing online, go for it I guess.

If you get too involved with people, once they're gone, it fucks you up.

I agree... some people can. I can't.

I think I will someday lose my mind when I go on like this. I have no friends, dislike people at collage and I started hating going out since I stopped alcohol (I only drink in order to like stupid bitches and bitches like me... never worked though).
SO, pretty much every opportunity to hang out with people is gone. Not that I'm that bothered, I just notice I will definitly go crazy one day.

That's a pretty cowardly attitude.

OP as long as you have internet and e-pals and engage in internet activities with other people it's all good, but if you lived somewhere in solitude without a single person nearby, no phone no PC no nothing, it would eventually be pretty dangerous, in a way.

You've probably been in a social environment and also been alone and decided that you prefer one over the other. I don't see anything "unnatural" about it, especially if you're aware of it.

It seems these people telling you otherwise have the idea that being comfortable with being alone is a disorder.

Your mom sounds pretty dumb. You should rough her up. Then when she tries to get you help you can get on Adderall or something to keep you "under control". Then any sort of undesirable behavior can be explained with a simple "I FORGOT TO TAKE MY PILLS TODAY LOL."
