    Many of us had bad childhoods. Don't use it as an excuse to be a failure in life. I can understand you harbor great resentment. Because the main people responsible for caring for you, were the first ones to let you down.

    But now your a grown man. You know what went wrong or what you think was wrong while growing up. Use what you know to make a better life for yourself. You must be aware of the reasons you rather be alone than with others. Things like being used and let down by those you trust. Not everyone is a bad friend or relative.

    Keep away from the bad ones and try to accept the good ones, with small faults they may have. Some days will be easier than others. About the humans.. you are a human too.

    You haven't given enough of a description of yourself to be able to tell. Staying indoors a lot is only evidence of being a recluse.

    sounds like a normal american adjustment in a normal american world. now you can just watch tv like the rest of us americans. afrer you smash the tv, go online and order another. seriously, man, you need someone caring to hug the daylights out of you. after that, go find a girl.

    You just need someone you can trust for you . Someone to get you out and have fun . Soon you will be lovin life but you will always be a homebody too.. Fear can ruin everything!

    You sound anti-social, and something akin to a hermit. But harmless if you don't have aggressions. You can test to see if you are psychotic... google anti-social behavior disorder. One of those sites has the list of things those people do. See if you do/have enough to qualify.

    doesn't sound like a sociopath. What you describe is best called being a recluse.
