I'm a homebody since I was a kid. I enjoy being alone, reading, watching old flicks, drawing, painting, and lots of things fun to do during my spare time. I am not comfortable in crowds and noisy places. I easily get irritated and bored with this kind of scenario. When I travel, I only choose nature tripping by the hills and mountains. I enjoy being alone at home especially when it is raining. I don't see this as an abnormal thing. This makes me happy and contented. I don't care what other people think.

As you shouldn't. You should do what makes you happy if you can. And, during those times life throws you a curveball, find a way to cope.

@jeanbug23 I can understand, believe me. I am the same way, but I can tolerate a crowded place when I have to. Sometimes I don't have a choice.

When I accepted myself life has become more beautiful. Peope sometimes would try to shame you when you show signs of introversion. I am happy for you. I dont mind them.

@Arya. I believe many people don't understand what an introvert is. Yes, I don't mind them if they can't.

I have advised by persons who i work with dealing with mental health problems to be "True to yourself."

I enjoy being alone, doing the kind of things I like - reading, listening to music, browsing the internet, Mylotting. I avoid crowds. But I also enjoy meeting with family members and close friends once in a while.

@M Cheung. Agree. Sometimes, we have to mingle with friends but choose, true friends only. And we can have to get together with our families and loved ones sometimes.

Well that is fine lots of people are that way. Me I don’t like being alone I’m but I don’t like big groups either or meeting new people. I don’t minding being a lone for a day or two but after that I need busman contact. This is why when other mothers are like how can you be happy your kids are going back to school for 6 hours a day. I’m like because every other second they are home they are all over me or spending time with me I don’t get me time or alone time I’m always taking care of someone or something.

@jeanbug23 I think it’s being okay with being okay with yourself as well as small interaction. I can spend hours are days with some people and others I rather stay in a hole alone for hours to stay away from them.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with being an introvert, and enjoying the peace and tranquility of your own home. If it makes you comfortable, then I say it is perfectly okay!
Are you married or in a relationship with someone? Sometimes extreme introverts struggle with relationships, because they don't like being around anyone.
I am sort of half extravert, half introvert. I have no problem being in crowds or enjoying the company of other people, but I also enjoy alone time and the peace and solitude and quietness of my home. I usually try to achieve balance between the two.

You're in moderation of everything. That's smart. I wish I could be the same.

@jeanbug23 it’s not easy for me. It takes a lot of work to find balance. There are days when I find myself emotionally drained from my mental efforts.

We should all find in life what makes us happy and comfortable. I never enjoyed being in crowds myself or having to socialize with many people I don't know. There are times for being with others and times one own company is fulfilling enough. There is a lot of positive which comes from solitude at least that's how I view it.
