loner? (10 points for best answer)?
Am I a loner? or is there a better term for it? I am 26 year's old and as the years go by it seems i lose more and more friends simply because i am tired of hanging out with people. I spend all my time trying to "educate" myself through college, co-workers who are "smarter" than I in my field (Systems and network security). and Reading book's.
I blow all my money on upgrading the technology in my house. Just so i can enjoy being at home "alone" more. I could care less about getting a g/f because of the annoyance of having to deal with someone 24/7. Do i have some sort of psychological disorder? Even when i do hang out with friend's EX: a restaurant all i can think about is how much other patrons are annoying me.
I constantly have what few friend's i do have trying to set me up on blind date's just for me to say "F*k it 24 hours before the date. I don't know if i should be seeking a psychologist for some sort of mental problem or if preferring NOT to have to deal with anyone at all, except for going to work to survive could be considered normal. I just got my masters in systems network and security and now I'm already looking for my 2nd computer science field to get a masters in, perhaps data base specialist or networking admin). but I'm rambling at this point. Any useful analysis of my situation is appreciated.
in reply to allie and her posted survey. Thank you very much for your awesome input.

You are not a "loner". You are what is called an introvert which means you enjoy being alone. There are many people like this throughout the world, including myself. It is not a bad thing, it is just your preference. It does not mean you don't want to have friends. It means you prefer just a few close ones. It is NOT a psychological disorder. I would recommend taking this nice little quiz that i will link in the source. It will give you a personality type based on your preferences and such. There are 16 different personalities and it is extremely accurate. You'll find that you aren't alone.

The other's answers may be right, OR..
You could be experiencing the beginning stages of depression and obsessive, compulsive behavior. If you're worried, go to a doctor and get it checked out. If you're not, then why are you asking? Go see a therapist. No one should be alone all the time. We all need interaction with others. Man is a social creature.

Dude you just like being alone and you feel comfortable like that... if you're wanting to change this try just making yourself go on the blind dates, even if you get annoyed, because who knows, maybe you'll find someone you like spending time with (even if she doesnt become a romantic thing it could just be a good friend)! I dont think there's anything 'wrong' with you man and if you want to change things you've just got to make a move and try meeting people but otherwise chill because youre fine :) as long as you're happy with your life as it is.
