 Alone, not lonely
The older I get the more I realize... this is just the way I am.  I've alway been quiet, have only had a handful of friends at the same time, preffered time by myself to read or watch television or just think. When I was younger, maybe just until a couple years ago, I really thought that there was something wrong with me.  That I am a mean person or have too much trouble making/keeping friends, but its not true anymore! People just suck! We only get this one life, why shouldnt I be alway vying to get to know myself better?  Now I freely admit that everything I do I prefer to do my my lonesome.  Shopping? Alone Please! That way I dont go to shops I dont like or have to wait for a friend to try things on whilst giving half assed opinions. Movies/televsion? ugh I want to watch the program, not discuss it while missing vital parts.  Eating? Thats the worst, people have such terrible table manners. 
Do I sound ridiculous? Selfish? Probably, and don't get me wrong, I do have friends.  They scratch their heads at my lack of social skills, but it is nice to be in a place where I am comfortable with that, I feel like I know myself better than many people my age (I'm 26).  A bothersome point is having to explain myself to more newly formed friends.  Please dont take offense to my not returning phone calls for upwards to a week.  Yes we have the same lunch hour, no i dont want to go with you, I need my "alone time".   (I say it a bit more respectfully than that)
I'm not really sure why I am writing of this, probably because I truly did struggle with it for such a long time, especially high school.
Okay thats all.

Wow we can definitely react. I consider myself a loner too. I am 20 yrs old. I don't have any hang out friends, just associates. I rarely get out of the house. When I do, I am at school or work. But I would like some hang out friends who are more like me and u are more like me so maybe we can talk sometime.
