Do you prefer to be alone most of the time? If so, have you thought about the reasons why you don’t like being around people? Well, people who like to be alone tend to avoid socializing and social situations for a number of possible reasons. These include certain personality traits, specific mental health disorders, and even a lack of social skills. In today’s society, it’s common to feel like an outcast if you don’t want to spend all your time with others. But it’s important to remember that there are many reasons why someone might prefer solitude, and none are less valid than any others. Some people have a fear of intimacy, social anxiety, or avoidant personality disorder and don’t like being around people because they’re afraid of what others will say or do. But there are also people who just don’t enjoy socializing as much as others do. It could be because they’re introverts or because they’ve had bad experiences with certain types of people in the past. If you’re one of those people who like to be alone and you don’t like being around people in general, this podcast can help you shed some light on why that could be.
