I've been wondering lately if it is possible to be psychologically healthy if one has few to no close friendships/relationships. I struggle with wanting to be with people. There are only a few people out there whose company I really enjoy. I was an only child. I was mostly unhappily married for 12+ years. I have children who are almost grown and honestly I'm very much looking forward to having the house to myself and my dogs (and their adorable unconditional love ;-) I've dated just a bit since my divorce and that was mostly because I felt that "normal people" seek to be in love relationships. I have a few good friends, but dream about not having to talk to/see anyone for a long period of time.
