Don't mean to sound like a whiny faggot. But. Is it mentally healthy to live life alone and single if you're happy?

I spend all my free time alone. I play FPS and internet most of the time. Work out 3 times a week. When I get a car I plan to go to the beach alone and bodyboard. I don't like going out and partying. I do like the occasional mild dose of perocet though for relaxation. Do it alone in my room.

Don't want companionship either. Like being single. I'll pay for sex if i really am craving it.

I'm perfectly happy but i get tons of people telling me I "need to get a girlfriend and go out more" and that I "need to be more social and stop being a hermit. I never saw anything wrong with my life. People do though.

HAI GUISE, I LIEK BEING ALONE BUT I'M HERE ON A WEBSITE TALKING TO OTHERS.

sounds like bullshit to me, you're not happy. you just tell yourself you are. if you wanted to be alone you wouldn't be lurking 4chan. reading what other people have to say. you just lack the ability to socialize and feel awkward around people, like a lot of those on 4chan

Hey OP, how old are you? I had the same thoughts on life for most of it, but right now I'm desperate for people and socializing. I never wanted to make friends, seeing how stupid they are and how shallow and pointless their life is. I've never really been out to a disco or just to have fun, but back then I could've if I only tried. But I preferred my own companionship, sitting in home playing computer games, browsing internet or watching movies. After several years of doing so I'm just bored of Internet, I don't play any games anymore, and I think I've seen all the worthy movies. What do I want now? I want a bunch of friend, with whom I can talk to about anything, and to find a girl for a longer period of time than a few weeks. I want to have someone to talk to after job, have someone who I can buy presents for. For that time, all my youth I've been living in denial, I don't know if it was some kind of anxiety or fear of socializing, but right now I desperately want people in my life. Siting home alone, without anything, without seeing any sense in doing anything, is driving me crazy.
But that's just me.

Guys, think about it. We are all very clever and capable individuals, but we all risk the possibility that our genes will die with us. Since we can't even get a girlfriend, let alone a wife, the only solution to ensure the world isn't full with idiots is a sperm bank. That's right. This way we will ensure that somewhere, our genes will live on.

nice a human being comes asking for advice and gets criticism way to miss the point anon, I support solitude as well, no midlife crisis when there is no life around, go retire somewhere in the mountains and and aid in non contributing to the vermin that humanity is, I'm on my way to a masters degree that doesn't say anything is wrong with solitude, but it's got a bad rap-sheet mostly because of... Wisconsin - cabin fever and people snapping, another reason to distance yourself, but even so no worries bro strength in solitude

I like being alone in the sense that I don't have a girlfriend attached to me. I'm just not a relationship sort of person and prefer to spend the time I would spend with a female to do things for the betterment of myself.

I like hanging out with friends though.

It sucks that all the decent looking girls want to go out and party or go to clubs at least three days a week, and when they're not they're "not living life to the fullest". I want a nice girl that appreciates good quiet time, walks in the park and at beaches, a nice dinner and movie together, and maybe the occasional night at the bars. So ronery.

If something is obvious, it's almost a guarantee that something is wrong - if people around OP are telling him that he needs to get out more, be more social, then they see a problem, but they don't really know the solution simply because OP enjoys time alone, playing FPS, etc.

So, the real problem is finding out exactly what is missing. It's possible that it is social interaction, or significant other, or OP's ability to contribute back to society - whatever. It's up to OP to find out exactly what's missing.

OP, here's my suggestion - just spend a week looking outside the box, evaluate your actions, figure out where your life is headed. Then just make sure your goals are aligned as to what you want to achieve and then your set. At that point, you can tell everyone to either help you achieve your goals or fuck off.

Hope that helps.

actually one could say that there is something missing from the OP's friends lives that they are not satisfied being alone and need some type of interaction to fulfill their ideal desires. As a social reject myself ( by choice, because people are fucking stupid and not worth my time ) I can say anyone who gives advice such as "Go out more, you will be happy!" are fucking retarded for thinking people are all the same. Simply because getting stupid around stupid people fulfills your happiness quotient doesn't mean it will fulfill mine.

The same can be said about you. What is it that makes you need social interaction to be happy? I view your extraneous need as a fault. Your so-called happiness is merely a diversion from the pain and misery you avoid confrontation with daily - that you are always lonely even amongst people and the loneliness stems from your certainty that we all die alone. Enjoy your delusion of happiness.

OP said people around him, not specifically his friends. If his friends did say that, then I would recommend what you said, or at least go out and getting new friends, but he stated that people around him say that giving me the impression that ordinary people that have a glimpse into his life see a problem.

Happiness is a delusion. You want to be happy? You think happy thoughts, or don't reflect on the mistakes you've made. You can have everything you've ever wanted and still be in despair over how some have nothing. Very rich people donate tons of money (probably) for that reason.

Just like a hermit. He thinks about how bad people can be, and all of the fun things he can do alone, rather than all of th fun he could've had with friends. The passions very much so inspire your intellect.

OP,
some people just like being alone. It's only a disorder if it messes with your ability to function (in society). If people are telling you you "go get a girl" it sounds like you're not totally alone anyway. Anyway, if ya want:
Schizoid personality disorder (SPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a lack of interest in social relationships, a tendency towards a solitary lifestyle, secretiveness, and emotional coldness.
Note that this has nothing to do with schizophrenia.

If you're really completely sure that it's what you want, then I don't see the harm. Though it's possible to think it's what you want even if that's not the case. I live a very solitary life myself, and I thought it was perfectly fine because it never depressed me. But then I understood I had become desensitized to all emotions both sadness and happiness. I'm still like this. Nothing sad about it, but I'm starting to long for my previous life. And the longer you've isolated yourself, the harder it is to go back.

I spend all my free time alone. I play Manhunt and reading about murder methods on the internet most of the time. Work out 3 times a week. When I get a gun I plan to go to the beach alone and kill everyone. I don't like going out and partying, except if I'm on a killing spree. I do like the occasional mild dose of anmie though for relaxation. And doin it alone in my room to it.

Those of us in college may have noticed the incredible number of psychology students. How many of these do we need? A reasonable person could conject that all these 'disorders' are being made up to create jobs.

In the past we had personalities, now we all have disorders and emotional issues, human beings 'should' all be identical and learn to overcome these 'problems'.

Bullshit.

No, I'm in exactly the same disposition. I have a handful of close friends, who are more like brothers too me, and I love spending time with them, but I don't waste time in clubs or parties. I prefer eating out at expensive restaurants, or going to epic concerts instead.

I have no problem meeting women, but I never let them stay over longer than a single night. Being independent saves me the hassle of social obligations, money, time, and space.

I'm taking university courses by correspondence, and attending an academy I will keep anonymous. Because I don't need people in my life all the time, I own every moment of my life to do whatever I want or need to do.

As long as you're content op, don't let anyone tell you what to do.

If your happy then why would you change your life style. Just watch taking the perocet (or whatever drug you take) and make sure that you control it and dont get addicted because then your lifestyle would become unhealthy.

The greatest feeling you can get in a gym or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is the pump. Let's say you train your biceps, blood is rushing in to your muscles and that's what we call the pump. Your muscles get a really tight feeling like your skin is going to explode any minute and its really tight and its like someone is blowing air into your muscle and it just blows up and it feels different, it feels fantastic. It's as satisfying to me as cumming is, you know, as in having sex with a woman and cumming. So can you believe how much I am in heaven? I am like getting the feeling of cumming in the gym, I'm getting the feeling of cumming at home, I'm getting the feeling of cumming backstage, when I pump up, when I pose out in front of 5000 people I get the same feeling, so I am cumming day and night. Its terrific; right? So I am in heaven.

Most people simply cannot grasp the fact that some of us grew beyond their pathetic herd mentality and developed enough self-worth to be satisfied with simply being alone, while they can't handle their own insignificance if deprieved of contacts for more than a day or two. The people who tell you that you can't be happy alone are those that never got beyond this natural instinct developed aeons ago, where survival was top priority- and only possible in groups. To be happy, they always need approval from the pack: monkey does a trick, and if the audience likes it, monkey gets a banana.

All that matters is what YOU choose. If you're happy, then don't let others tell you that you're not. The majority doesn't necessarily represent the best choice. Just look at the current American president.
