That pretty much sounds like me. I live alone and keep myself busy. I had lived with other people in the past and didn't like it that much. But, that's just me. One time I heard someone say, "if you like being alone, then you never had a good relationship". I wonder if there's some real truth in that?
To Crying On The Inside - I was in hospital a few years ago for about a week. I thought that I would be cold and lonely since there were hardly anybody visiting me. But I wasn't. I didn't feel lonely in hospital at all. When I was home after being released, then I felt very lonely. I wasn't able to go to work and hardly anybody came to visit me. My good friend was gone for a couple of weeks. Some people from the church I was going to at that time brought me food, but they never stayed to talk to me to see how I'm doing.
