TeenHelp - View Single Post - I love being alone. Is there something wrong with me?

Edit avatar

I enjoy my own company, but there are times when I want to be in the company of others. I can last maybe one or two hours surrounded by people before getting annoyed and wanting to withdraw into my own space. There's really nothing wrong with that as Raf and Hollie have said, it's your choice. If you do, at some point, want to become more social and meet new people, there's no need to deny yourself that.

Personally, I think there's a lot more to uni than meeting new friends and staying out partying until 2 AM on Saturday nights. You know what your priorities are, and while that may change in the next few years, focus on that now. Don't worry about being the odd one out or the lack of a social life. Everyone's different. I was always holed up in my dorm when I was away at uni and had no friends. It's been ten years since I left and I have not reconnected with anyone over social media.
