I think very deeply
Nothing wrong with some 'me time' but you need to read Law 18 of the 48 Laws of Power:
Do Not Build Fortresses to Protect Yourself – Isolation is Dangerous
The world is dangerous and enemies are everywhere— everyone has to protect themselves. A fortress seems the safest. But isolation exposes you to more dangers than it protects you from—it cuts you off from valuable information, it makes you conspicuous and an easy target. Better to circulate among people, find allies and mingle. You are shielded from your enemies by the crowd.
Isolating yourself too much on some "fukk the world" shyt (not saying you OP but speaking in general) is just cutting off your nose to spite your face, more or less.

I have that book, and I read that part. And I do agree with it, it's important to have people around to help you achieve certain goals. But beyond that I'm good.

My sister is four years older than me so when I got to high school she left. When I got to college, she left. I’ve felt like an only child a lot of the time because I’ve spent so much time alone.
Nothing wrong with it. It’s just how I came up. It’s made me way more self sufficient. I have to make shyt happen on my own. Always have.

I'm cool with having people in my life and whatnot, but shyness and the way my life developped meant I HAD to get used to being alone, so I'm more than comfortable with it now. No problem going to the movies, concerts, on holidays, etc...alone. Sometimes I do miss company, but most of the time I'm good. Gives more time and "mental space" to really enjoy whatever it is I'm doing. BUt yeah for some other stuff it's cool to be people. I'm just used to doing stuff on my own, just feeling totally free. 
I value seeing people because you really WANT to see them, not just out of habit/social conventions.

I’m exactly the same way. I love being on my own. I love coming home to an empty flat, putting my feet up and doing whatever the hell i want. In fact I could live like this the rest of my life except I also want a family. Can’t see myself being old with no kids. So basically I’ve got this conflict going on where I want to be left alone and at the same time if I want a family I would never be alone.
At least they’ll be my family and not some annoying random people I would hate after spending 5mins with, which I seem to always do.

It's one of my favorite passtimes.

Sometimes u do tho bruh...life ain't rosy for a lot of ppl..before u know it u look up and u in ur 30s wondering where the time went...ain't accomplish half the shyt u said u was gonna do..alot ppl turn it around later in they lives..Sam Jackson was junkie..now he one of the highest paid actors..jus saying bruhOP almost in his mid 30s talking about needing a do-over
I do kinda feel like a lot of people go out of their way to be around other people because they can't stand themselves.
I remember this scene from the lil bit of True Blood I watched, witch was telling the black chick to try and look herself in the eye via mirror for 10 seconds without blinking or looking away.
Can't do that, well... you got some self work to be doing.

For the most part yes but only because most people aren't worth my time and I just don't like people in general. If people were cooler or I just related to them more then I would want to spend more time around people.
I've met some cool people in my life that I really like being around but that is very rare. Most people to me are just retarded or I just don't like the way they are. Too judgmental, talk too much bs or we just don't click. A lot of times it's a pick your poison situation, being alone all the time gets old if there's not much to do but the alternative isn't any better most of the time. I'm sure a lot of people that prefer to be alone would change their mind if they had more special people in their life to be around but that's hard to find.

It's also why there are so many unoriginal copycats out here. Trapstars, thugs, thots, all people feeling more comfortable blending into a sea of clones who're afraid of being individuals.
