Is it normal to prefer being alone most of the time?
Identity & Self-Worth
Preferring solitude is completely normal for many people; the key is ensuring it's a choice rather than avoidance due to fear or depression.
Many people genuinely prefer spending time alone and find it energizing and fulfilling. This is especially common for introverts who recharge through solitude. The key distinction is whether your preference for being alone comes from genuine enjoyment of solitude or from managing fear, Major depressive disorder, or social Anxiety disorder that makes being around others feel difficult. If you're happy and fulfilled in your alone time and don't feel lonely or isolated, then your preference is perfectly healthy and normal.
