At what point do you think being alone (or the desire to be alone) becomes a problem or a disorder? I find the desire for a reclusive lifestyle very appealing. I love my house and the quiet. I feel the most at peace in my home with my children or alone. While I funtion well in social situations, I find "get togethers" draining no matter how casual the event. Is it abnormal to want to be alone more than to be with people?
