i really hate going out with friends..i like to be alone everytime.i'm shy type and this is also a reason for not going out..i rarely go out with friends to movies and come back to home immediately..i wud feel irritated if someone disturb me when i enjoy being alone...

i wud recieve many advices from friends and parents to stop being alone..but i never feel uncomfortable in being alone..but i feel uncomfortable and shy to be around people.i don't like to make friends and really don't want to be around people.i wud spend most of time in playing games in my pc,listening music, sleeping and in kitchen trying to cook thought i don't know how to cook :(

sometimes i behave like a physco when some one disturb my loneliness.....

    Hey, see that is not some disease to worry about. It's just how you're. It's your character. It differs with every person. If you're not bothered to be alone, then there is nothing to worry about it, actually. If you yourself find it difficult or tough to be alone, then you could bother even. If anyone says it's weird let them know you're quite happy about it. This is not the case for me. I really hate to be alone when my family members are out for work. Everytime they are away for work, i'm pushed to be alone and i really find it so so difficult to be so. You're quite lucky that you're enjoying being alone. Enjoy and do things what you like.:-)

    No. It is not a disease or syndrome if you like it. I like loneliness. In fact I enjoy to be alone. I can do whatever I like when I am alone. I read, write, sing, listen to music, surf internet, watch movies and there is nothing wrong in that. Many big inventions and memorable works are done by those who liked to be alone. Scientists, writers, novelists, religious leaders and even political leaders always find a time to be alone so that they can think and imagine things. Great warriors make their plans when they are alone. In Hindu culture some people force themselves to be alone to concentrate on their minds and thoughts. It is called YOGA or DYANA. Buddha was a Great Yogi. Even Jesus and Mohammad earned true knowledge and wisdom when they were alone. Jesus went away in wilderness for 40 days before starting his venture in this world. He was then tested by Devil and passed. Mohammad went on a mountain for several days and he was away from the world before he gained true knowledge. Moses went on Mount Sinai and got "Ten Commandments." So don't worry. Use your loneliness for creating good, memorable things.

    I don't know about you but I had a really messed up childhood, and ended up having less self respect for myself, even though I was "called" smart and study well and stuff. Ended up being shy to go out(like I'm asking myself "do I really deserve to have all this fun?").

    Hell, I didn't even know a lot of places around my place.

    Then, one day I sat down and started thinking back to how I was treated by others and stuff since childhood and how I never got to have fun and live my life(which I get one chance to live). Something clicked back then and I felt a bit furious but in a controlled way and since then, I never looked back and never stopped having fun when I should.

    So its really up to you. You either go out there, and live your life and get the enjoyment you deserve, or stay home with giving yourself less credit than you deserve.

    You need to change and never look back, but do it responsibly. Just find out when it(being shy etc) all started and move on!

    I have the same thing, and it is your own personal power, and your biggest weakness too. Through being by myself for years, I have come to enjoy being by myself, and have concluded that I will die by myself. I can live all by myself, and I'll never need to depend on anyone else, but I'll never feel love either. I want the love that people see in movies. That type where you would die if it would save your love! But I only had one girl, and she used me and left, so now I don't depend on others and I gave up on girls. I WILL be alone until I die, so I figure that I should at least enjoy it, while it lasts.

    Theres nothing WRONG with you.I also enjoy being alone.Im not alone all of the time i do have some friends but most of the time i enjoy the silence and peace.What is wrong with enjoying the peace and silence? The main reason i like to be alone is that people get on my nerves and are always negative they just give me a headache with their problems.We were born alone and we die alone we are always alone we just have company but everybody is alone.

    Loneliness is not a disease, it is natural born in some person (like me too).

    Positive Site of Loneliness: -

    1) Spent money in your own way.

    2) Eat what you want.

    3) No matter of shearing your material /dress material.

    Negative Site of Loneliness: -

    1) U feel bour.

    2) If u fall ill no one came for your help.

    3) If u fall in due u did not getting help from others.

    In case of me I become over lap from this and I want you too to over lap.

    It could be a disease. It's one thing to be introverted. It's something else to be so averse to normal human interaction that you completely isolate yourself. And the answers you will get here will all reflect the viewpoints of the responders - not a bona fide diagnostic evaluation. For that you should see a professional.

    No way, It is not a disease, some people like this, most of the time they like to be alone, so it is a normal thing.

    Sometimes it happens when you find it hard to relate to people....but another reason it could be personal insecurities or you just don have a common ground to talk about something...Find activities which you like...go out nd meet people with similar interests this way youll meet people who share common passions and you might just meet some awesome people...
