Hmm. I'm not quite sure how to explain this. Basically, I just don't feel like being around people right now. Sometimes, I find them flat-out annoying. I find that I really want to be alone. I like being by myself. I find I'm really quite enjoying my alone time. It's not like I'm depressed, or brooding, its actually positive self-time.
I'm sure this is healthy to a point. When does it become unhealthy? Another thing too is, I do not want to be considered selfish, because I am not. Its just, most of my life I have been so "anti-me", "poor me", "bad me". Now, for the first time, I actually LIKE me! I feel really great about myself, and by having lots of alone time, I feel like I am reinforcing positive self talk, and encouraging my self-esteem. What say you, folks?

I think its fine, and not unhealthy but on the contrary, very healthy, especially if you are having positive feelings.
Enjoy this time. I've always been a loner,for me it's as natural as breathing. I still like chatting with people, but like to hang out with a group makes me feel smothered,yeah,I'm weird like that,but that is me.  If this alone time isn't a withdrawal/depression then I wouldn't be concerned,but if you are starting to question it,maybe talking to a mental health professional can benefit you, that is if you aren't feeling comfortable any longer with your "alone time". Take care now, DE

Well, if it is not actually escaping other people, I don't think there is any harm in that. As you mention, it seems constructive. It'll probably pass when you meet people who are more 'interesting' or have more in common with you. I woudn't worry...

I need hordes of alone time just to be functional. I can tell the difference between wanting it because I'm horribly depressed and wanting it because I need breathing room, though. From what you've described, I have to agree with the others, it sounds perfectly healthy. It can be hard to explain to people why you need it, but it's worth a shot.

Some times we all need an escape from the world and the people that live within it...
