I think its alright to be alone. I still have constant communication with my ex so I am not completely alone. I live with my parents and my sister and they provide me with a lot of companionship when I feel completely closed in.

But relationship wise? Sometimes I get lonely and I miss having a boyfriend. But I am quite content going out shopping or to the movies by myself. It doesn't bother me at all.

We are human and we do require social contact so I can understand why being completely alone can be unhealthy. But if you love yourself enough and enjoy your "ME" time, then more power to you!

And as a sidenote, I understand being around a large group of friends and feeling alone. Mainly why I don't have any close friends anymore. I would rather be by myself.
