1) How long have you been this way?

I’ve always been the type to keep to myself more, although in the past I would go out with friends and/or family and enjoy life. I’ve been a true loner in the past year and a half.

2) Do you enjoy it?

I enjoy a lot of alone time, because being around people a lot can cause me to become irritable and anxious, but I do not enjoy my present situation. I want more social interaction.

3) Is it by choice or is it just difficult to make friends?

I’ve always had trouble making and maintaining friendships. I’m a loner now by choice, mainly due to some self-esteem issues.

4) When was the last time you had a best friend?

Right now I have someone I keep in contact with on the phone frequently. I would consider him a close friend. Otherwise, probably high school.

5) Do people know you are a loner?

My family does.

6) How do you spend your free time?

I get online quite often, watch t.v., read, and make 3 A.M. trips to the store.
