To each their own, but know this: The desire for long-term solitude is not an abnormality, despite the social stigma that stems around it.
Extroverts have a hard time fathoming why anyone would choose to seclude themselves from other people. This is not something they can be faulted for, it's simply how their brains are wired versus how brains of introverts are wired.
For me personally, I don't despise face-to-face social contact with people. I just frequently despise the side-effects that come with it. Oftentimes when a couple of friends, or a group of friends get together, they have an ulterior motive, usually group participation in a common activity. Drinking, clubbing, going to a movie, camping, shooting hoops, just a few examples. I find though that my problem is that all I want to do is play video games. I really, REALLY enjoy it, it's all I want to do. Many people enjoy the occasional hour or so playing games, but for me it's a daily activity. So socially, I find myself in an awkward situation because no one I know wants to constantly play video games everyday, or I don't want to engage in the activities they invite me out too. I'd rather play games.
It's made relationships with me difficult. I've had more girlfriends than I've got fingers. They fall for me because I'm the attractive co-worker, classmate, goth stranger or whatever identity I'm wearing at the time, and the courting stage ensues. Courting is great. We both have fun, we both enjoy each other's company, keep toothbrushes and a change of clothes at each others place. Alas, over time, you start to notice things about your partner that raise warning flags. In my case, it's my constant desire to play video games, and ONLY that. Needless to say, my relationships seldom lasted longer than 4 months. My current girlfriend is the first one that I've ever invited to live with me. I made the invite because at the time, it made financial sense for her. She had recently graduated and was looking to find work. I offered her a place to stay and a bed to sleep on for nothing. She has student loans to pay off, so as long as she's paying them off she doesn't owe me a cent for anything. Of course, the marriage topic has popped up... sadly, I don't think it will ever happen. Us living together is a stepping stone in the relationship, a chance for us to spend long periods of time together and learn things about the other we wouldn't be able to learn otherwise. It's like marriage, just without the financial and ownership difficulties. Since we've been living together, we've both learned things about the other that worry us, characteristics of our lifestyles that don't meld well with the other person. Plus, she moved a great distance to be with me. She frequently gets homesick and laments that she has no one here to have a social life with. Her lamentations make me feel guilty and unhappy, and I find myself realizing I was happier when she wasn't around. I have very little faith that we'll work out.
If she and I do part ways, I don't imagine I'll look for a girlfriend again. Instead, I'll probably just adopt a couple of cats.
