A life in solitude

[Argamemnon]

I have come to the conclusion that there are people who are happy when they spend most of their time in solitude. I'm definitely one of them, there is no denying. But is this a disorder? I feel absolutely happy when I don't have too much responsibilities and social interaction. If only I could find a job that I could do at home, my life would be absolutely perfect.

Not having a partner is perfectly logical in my case. I don't think I'm even "love shy", I just don't enjoy spending time with people. I have done the online test, and I'm definitely a highly sensitive person. I'm too internally minded as well, these are all factors which prevent me from enjoying social contacts. Perhaps I should stop feeling guilty about it and SEEK a life in solitude? But I have to find work that I can do at home, this is very important for me. Any suggestions in this regard would be great!

I think that some people can live perfectly happy lives in solitude. I used to perfectly happy but i've started to crave being with people. I guess i see what other people have; Girlfriend/wife/friends and i envy what they have.

Very similar to the way i feel/my situation. I don't know what to do, i don't know what i want to do...

Yup, I don't have a problem being with people, but I like to have time alone and a place where I feel safe and free. I wouldn't necessary want to cut off contact with society because that was where I grew up and I think I should "give back" by keeping the peace in society, but I have a piece of my own mind, so I like to keep my distance too.

Argamemnon, it's like I wrote this. I am in similar position, I am looking for a job but no job from home. If I like the job, I don't like the conditions (such as it is too far) or vice versa. If I find a job from home and it is stable, I'll be very satisfied, whatever it is.

I feel the same way. I really do not like being around other people. I am happiest when I am at home by myself. It is too much of an effort trying to be comfortable around others when I'm screaming inside.

Although my education is in Computer Engineering and I could work as a system administrator or a programmer and not so much with people, I am still worrying, because as a programmer I won't have my own room, but I will share it with colleagues. Since this work requires some concentration and I cannot think clearly when surrounded by people, I just avoid it. It would be great to program from home, but chances for this are so little...
