Nah...being alone gives you space and time to think and breathe...so there is nothing wrong with you...my parents and grandparents arent married and it worked out for them.
Poll: Wow, I'm a sad person, I guess.

Depends on the day. Id hate to be alone always, and never have anybody around to talk and mess around with IRL, but sometimes i just feel like laying back and keeping quiet, and other people become a nuisance then. I wont say you're a minority, but I think that if you consider being alone to be ideal, you havent found anybody in your life who you really enjoy being around, so you should probably get and find those people. Not that being alone is bad, but your life will be more complete with those people than without them.
I am very much a loner. I would quite happily sit in the house for weeks on end without going out, actually I have done that and it was awesome. I admit sometimes I do need to go out and socialize a bit, but not very often.
I'm not a 'people person' and for some odd reason find having a conversation, sometimes even with friends, quite awkward since I am far more into gaming than they are, and they are all about going out to parties and clubs.
I also have a tendency to make very dark jokes, an example being I was out one night and a friend said to me 'You're not normally out are you?' to which I replied 'Well it was either going out or staying in and slashing my wrists' Needless to say I got some strange looks for that. And no I don't slash my wrists.

You're fine. What's messed up are all those people who'd rather stay married to an asshole or even a psychopath than to be alone. Those people need professional help.capin Rob said:
I have plenty of friends but I've just never seen the need to use another person like a crutch.
Hanging out is fun, but i really need time to chill out by myself, if i don't get this time i get very irritable.
I chose 'yes', as I do enjoy being alone. Though definitely not all the time.
The majority of our personality and knowledge comes from those close to us, so a life spent mainly in solitude would likely lead to very limited development as an individual.

I've spent about 60 straight hours out of the company of other people since leaving work Friday night. Solitude is delightful.capin Rob said:
In addition, I've been married, and most of the reason for my divorce was that the ex-wife found my extreme introversion to be too much to bear---we didn't really have much of a social life as a couple because I hated when she'd drag me on outings with her friends.
Come to think of it, the best relationship I've ever been in was with a girl with severe Asperger's Syndrome. Her introversion rivaled mine, she had no problem with just going out for fast food or staying in and having sex and calling it a "date night"...no expectations beyond "I'm yours, you're mine, now let's live our lives in peace."
I probably should've married that girl.
I think marriage and kids are important and not just cuz girls are hot but I really think I won't be happy without a woman. I mean I am happy now but if I didn't get married I don't think I would be happy, and I really want kids. I just make sure I find a woman who is gonna be worth marrying and I take care of career and w/e else as well.
I don't have many friends, but the ones I have are close. But I want to get married asap. I really don't think I need more friends but waking up next to a woman everyday and her cooking you NOM NOM seems like heaven. Im really look forward to it.
Edit:
I like being alone and am fairly introverted. In fact I don't really need people but I still want a wife. If it was me and a girl I would be happy (and kids). Friends are nice but I don't think there is any relationship more intimate than a husband/wife and thats why I like it. I don't like superficial and loss relationships with anyone, if we are friends its gonna be deep, not some hang out buds or w/e. I think a lot of people are too selfish and thats why they get divorced and don't want kids. If you don't have kids or get married I think your a failure, unless you did it for religious reasons (which is self sacrifice and not selfishness). Unless you have some severe disability maybe.

Well, I'm kind of torn up on my decision here.
On one hand I would value a great friendship more than anything.
But on the other hand I lack one of those.
Wish I wasn't...
And getting more social would be a craving of mine.
So, "no". I don't.
