There are allot of people like you, i myself am one, i'm an older person i'm retired, and it's just my wife and i, with an occasional visit from my grown kids, and yes you'll get slack for this from others but i wouldn't worry about it . . . I lived in the fast lane in a younger day but nowadays i can honestly say i treasure my down time, family or no family, and not because i'm old, i'm a musician and a song writer, and poet, and when i'm alone in the woods by a pound, and commuting with nature, i'm allot better for it in the long run, not to mention others who deal with me, no there is nothing wrong with you, keep doing what your doing because all your really doing is basically what most people take for granted cause there to busy trying to be something there not so as to please others, and missing out on the most important friend of all in life, and in this case, that friend just happenes to be, your inner self . . .

How much do you enjoy spending time alone?
For the most part, I do not mind spending time alone. Most days, except for the summer months when my son is home from school, I am usually alone. My son attends a school for the deaf and stays there during the week and comes home on the weekends. That leaves me alone during the week. Most mornings are filled with doctors visits, shopping (as needed) and sitting on my butt in front of my computer. I am not a tv watcher, more for movies. If you are wondering where my wife is in this picture? I am a widower. My wife died in early 2015, leaving me to be a single dad. We had been married for 40 years when she died from complications of diabetes.I am still getting used to not having anyone around. I do enjoy it though, when I’m home alone, I can get up and let my dogs out in the backyard and I can do it in the buff. I don’t have to put on any clothes if I don’t want to. I don’t do that when someone is here. The hardest part of all for me is at night. I shared my bed with my wife for over 40 years. I hate sleeping alone.Something my late wife did know about me, I had been closeted gay during our entire marriage. I never cheated on her, not once. I openly came out after her death. You may think, as an openly gay man then I would be out there dating. I don’t. I never got the chance to live alone and to be myself. I got married at 20 and widowed at 60 (almost 61). I thought I found someone, it was a mistake. He’s a good friend, but that is all he is.Will I have someone in my life again? One day I will. My son plays a major part in who comes into my life. Since he is deaf, that man will have to know ASL, or be willing to learn it. He could even be hearing impaired himself. I’m visually impaired and I have a hearing problem. I am going blind, slowly. This guy has to accept me for who I am and who is in my life. No exceptions.
How much time do you spend alone?
I spend about 42-45hrs a week in my office cubicle, but I have coworkers around. I don't typically interact with my coworkers on a daily basis however, so most of that time it's me working at my computer by myself. The other 120+ hrs a week are basically all alone unless I happen to run into a roommate which happens a few times a month. I also call my parents and my brothers every few weeks so there's a few hours on the phone with immediate family every month. If I had to guess I would think that I spend about 25% of my life at work, and about 25% of that, or 7.5% of the total interacting in person with fellow coworkers. Maybe another 7.5% of the total interacting with roommates in person and speaking to family on the phone, would bring the total time spent engaging other people to about 15%. The other 85% of the time I'm basically alone (including time spent asleep).

I like spending time alone , but I also like to socialize and enjoy being around people, so am I an introvert or extrovert?
I asked this question many times and each time I got a different answer. All of us wonder am i an introvert or extrovert personality at some point in our lives but the answer to this question is really simple. Just by liking to spend time alone, you cannot be categorized as an introvert and just by socializing and enjoying being around people doesn’t make you an extrovert. There are many traits that define this.A true introvert doesn’t like being around people at all. Someone who wants to do everything on his or her own and doesn’t feel the need to trouble other people. Some introverts are scared and get anxiety when they are put into social situations. If you don’t feel like this, you are not an introvert.A true extrovert, on the other hand loves to be among other people. He or she likes to be the center of everyone’s attention and can effortlessly do so as well. If you are someone like that and you like to socialize and talk to new people, you are most likely an extrovert.Even an extrovert likes spending time alone, so that can’t be the only trait that you are comparing. For being an ambivert, it is like a switch. Us ambiverts like hanging out with people we like, at a place where we feel comfortable and can control the situation to our liking. We like to be alone and do things on our own as well. When push comes to shove, we can easily hang out with new people and might enjoy it as well. But generally we don’t prefer to do so.Personality is a little tricky. Not all ambiverts are like that. Some are closer towards introversion and some are closer towards extroversion. Depending on your traits, you have to decide which way you lean towards more.With what information you have provided, you could easily be an extrovert who likes to have some alone time as well, so figure out whether you are more inclined towards extroversion or introversion and that decides who you are.
Do you enjoy spending time alone?
Yes and no !!! I enjoy company very much and these days I'm even more selective who I chose to spend my time with whether it be online or offline. I also enjoy being alone but with being unemployed and living alone over this last year,I'm alone 24/7 which can be boring and depressing at times except for online friends or 2-3 days a week when I visit family or friends in real life.
I like spending time alone and always enjoy my company. I go out to eat or roam around alone. I don't like to work in groups. Does this make me an introvert?

Why do I want to spend time alone?
Is it that you yearn to be alone most of the times? Or, you don’t even mind making excuses just to get some alone time. Further, you don’t like socializing much and you find yourself least happy when you’re surrounded by people. A meeting with a close friend is more important to you any day than a random social get together. And, your sanity depends on a regular dose of ‘ME’ time. And, you’re often tagged as an introvert.Does it disappoint you? Honestly, I always felt dejected when anyone would call me a loner or an introvert. I was lucky, however, to deduce that solitude was important to me despite varied opinions. Even if it came at the cost of being called “Introvert” all the time.Extroverts Also Need a Dose of Alone TimeThere is nothing wrong being an Introvert. Sadly, most of us don’t even realize that the differences between Introverts and Extroverts are exaggerated. Besides, the alone time is not important to us introverts only. It is invaluable for extroverts as well.The society disapproves of introverts because of their craving for more alone time. Due to the perceptions created by the society and blaming it on technology and its devices- most of us don’t want to be alone. But, if you talk to extroverts they have similar needs. They feel that they are not getting enough alone time and would appreciate a lot more time with their own selves. It is, therefore, not in our personality…..Click here to read the whole article.Thanks
