Is it normal to want to be alone? I feel like I want attachments like friends, but I mostly want to be alone..
Question:
Answers:
Its definately normal to want to be alone. Its perfectly natural to go back into your shell whenever you need to chill out from the world. It can be a bit stressful sometimes. It is important to find a balance between time alone and time for sharing with others, whether it is family, friends or strangers, because if you spend too much time by yourself you may end up forgetting what life is all about. It is also important to value friendship without attachment, becuase these are the most fulfilling kind of relationships, based on mutual respect and enjoyment rather than needyness and comfort.

That's normal. You're probably introverted.
I think that being by yourself is a good thing, maby you just need sometime to figure out who you are and what you want in life. I love to be by myself you dont have to talk , or worry about anyone, you can do what you want and you can just relax. its normal, sometimes there are people persons an sometimes there is not.
Yes, it's normal. Plenty of others feel the same way.
I think it's normal if you like it and aren't hurting anyone else then I can't see a problem at all.
Being and only child, I became and isolation specialist.
Here is my thought.
It is not healthy, we are not meant to be alone. I was described as strange which also included my conversation content.
That seemed to set me on an internal search, I began to recognize negative behavior patterns which I did not know how to change.
I decided to invest in myself and went to counseling.
Churches have community resources which see folks on a sliding fee scale.
We go to counselors to become healthy, mine was not an over night leap, but investing in myself was the best thing for me.
Attachments are great when you understand the different levels. I still require my alone time, but it is significantly less now. Best wishes in your ability to sort things out.
I'm not actually sure if it's normal, but I have the same problem. My therapist says that it's not good to not have people, so maybe it's true for you too. Sometimes it's nice to be alone, but you need friends for when hard times come, to have a shoulder to lean on. I hope I answered your question the best way I could.
