I can only answer from my personal experience. In my case it is yes for a very, very small number of people. I don't know why, it may be the depression, it may be my personality, I don't know but I would be perfectly happy being a hermit.

But I love my husband (I count him because I picked him) and I have a best friend we share a disorder and our bond was forged in need. We were alone and no one else could help us so we helped each other and now I can say that she is the first true friend I have ever had. We talk every day even though we no live far apart.

Don't know if this helps
