I prefer being alone, most of the time.
I used to think that I'm this way, because growing up I was extremely shy, and so easily embarrassed. I went out of my way to not be noticed by others.
Over the years though, that concept of myself has changed drastically since those early years. I have discovered that I am an introvert, which is much different than being shy. I'm able to be around others now, and can often feel quite comfortable in the presence of others.
I do my best thinking, my best work, etc, when I am alone. I, too, can become quite frustrated, and quite irritable around others, especially when I have to spend too much time around others. It's as if they somehow 'drain' me, and rob me of that very essence which is vital to who I feel I am as a person.

Reason: spelling errors, and clarifying a point made earlier.
