I agree with amandalouise that only your treatment providers know you well enough to answer your question.

I personally think it's healthy for everyone to be able to bond with some others in life. Freud said the sign of a healthy person is the ability to be able "to love and to work." That said, Maslow thought "self-actualized" people tended to have few friends they were really close to.

Extreme introverts get more "energized" by being by themselves. However, I believe there is a danger in becoming too self-absorbed.
