I like to see people happy, laughing, having fun but I'm using a facade for their sake. So being alone allows me to be selfish, serious, and indulge in my otaku ways.

As I'm getting older I'm learning to appreciate the value of being alone without feeling abandoned/lonely/etc.

That's a different way of looking at it. It's good that you appreciate the value of being alone, but it is nice to be around people sometimes too. Even though I have "friends" that aren't so great I definitely have friends that have helped me through really rough times and genuinely been great to me. Those are the people that you want in your life. I do wish I could be ok with being alone sometimes, but it really just makes me feel terrible if I'm alone for too long.
Thanks for this!
