I get sick of people in real life.

It's a recent phenomenon.

I don't want to go out. I don't want to chat. I don't want to see people I know. I want to be alone. I like being an introvert loner. If they want to talk to me occasionally online, great. But, I don't want to talk to anybody directly. It really interferes with my time. I am on a very tight schedule for work. As such, I have incredibly little patience with people right now.

Being alone, I find I am amazingly productive. I can get a lot accomplished daily. My brain needs a chance to have complete quietness once I leave work. Actually, I never leave work. It follows me home. But, at least I can get away from chatty people. There's only so much I can take of that kind of noise. My attention span has only so much energy before it melts down. I have 24 packed hours, and as of now, I've had to eliminate socializing in order to get shit done.

You tell me, am I insane, or is this just me being real world normal? I swear this world is brutal competition.

I do what needs to be done to procure necessary resources, and then my only desire for what little time I have left each day is to retreat into my own sanctuary of solitude and get eight uninterrupted hours of sleep.

I think I want to do this forever.

I don't want social obligations at all.

I'm like a hamster.

You can't house hamsters together you know. They like to be alone.

    Am exactly like you but am retired. I hate human contact and feel at peace when alone. People talk way too much and the conversations are so boring. It's a beautiful day today but have just been in bed reading and thinking. Never answer my door and don't use the telephone. Difficult for other people to understand, but I would do what you want and not feel obliged to conform.

    don't worry - you're doing everything right. if it was the opposite, and you weren't feeling well because of your lack of social interactions with people, then you should be concerned. a lot of people like to chat about things that have no substance, like gossip. i truly believe that those things are toxic distractions to more important things. you're better off without that kind of useless chit-chat. it sounds like you're focused on the right things, for example your job, and that's great. you care about your well being enough to make sure you get 8 hours of sleep. that's great too. and don't let anyone make you feel weird about the way you are. they simply just don't understand, and that's their problem, not yours.

    Bits of both I reckon. Alone time to be productive and occasional social time (with well-selected people - common interests etc.) to remember how to be human!

    it's normal for introvert loners like you. take example like albert einsteins?? but it also can be unhealthy because loneliness might make you depressed after a long time

    It's ok... and it's kind of better for you to be like that. But don't block people alot from your life, like your parents and family. DREAM BIG :) but if you started getting depressed you may need someone to talk to , right? also, did something happen that you became an introvert or was it in you since you were born?

    Humans are social animals; you hate yourself and project that onto others; you're afraid of failure and competing against other males for dominance (assuming you're a guy).

    Being a recluse is a great way to avoid taking responsibility for the social aspect of your life. Unfortunately it's a miserable path that ends with unfulfillment, because responsibilities like that one are the meaning to life.

      thats such a bunch of shit,bubsy.first...he doesnt have to be a guy.second:you dont have to hate yourself to hate humans.for example i love myself but i hate when i hear humans with your type of perception. he/she is more productive when being alone.maybe she is simply a calm person who prefers to be alone and thats it.we are social beings?really?thats why we hate each other so much ??thats why most humans die by the hand of other humans?wipe your ass with that idea.

        I hope you are young. In 2015, millions and millions more humans died from heart disease, strokes, respiratory infections and diabetes than 'by the hand of other humans'.

        Being more productive when you're alone is fine, and it is often easier to focus that way. But social expertise and comfort is something that has to be trained, especially for introverts. And removing yourself entirely is a cowardly solution, that will not end well for OP.

    If you're happy then I don't think there's a problem, although I wouldn't suggest completely shutting off from everyone as one day you might want / need them

    Maybe you're a hamster?

    I still feel like cat. I used to feel like a dog, but now I just feel more like a cat.
