Alone and don't care?

Nope. Even if by chance I were to gain some friends or find people who appreciate my company and would like me to be more engaged with them, the probability is high that I will do one of two things: find an excuse not to socialize and live with being perceived as a lone wolf, or just completely cut off contact with them without regard to any possible consequences that might bring.

Most people are stuck in their herd mentality anyways and it would be incredibly difficult IRL to find someone with whom I can truly relate to and whom can accept me for who I am rather than how I am. And the chance remains that I may never find that person in my lifetime, so until then I can live with being the lone wolf with little to say.

Me too. I find it hard to make and maintain friendships, so over the years I have become very isolated (currently have no friends). But I'm ok. I rarely feel lonely.

It's a toss-up for me. Most days, I go to work and come home and don't do anything else. I love it. On the other hand, there are times, where I wish I was out and about. I do a whole lot of nothing most of the time, and lately I find myself wanting to do tsomething other than being cooped up in the house.

Just going through life at the moment going to work, coming home, surfing the internet and spending the weekends by myself.

Such is life . . .

I'm use to being alone too. Its def hard to be completely alone, for one year in college I lived all by myself. I liked the time to myself but I would try to force myself to hang out with some of my friends each day (wasnt always successful). Now I live with my parents and dont really hang out with anyone. On the weekends I just surf the internet or watch TV and work during the week. I would never want a lot of friends just a couple that share the same interests I have.

This actually sounds like an ideal situation to me...I know it's weird to most people but I really wouldn't mind just having family/kids but no friends. I'm single and still in college but I prefer spending time with family over friends. I often force myself to socialize outside of school but it's not something I "need" or particularly enjoy. I do love spending time with my family and classmates, as long as it is balanced with alone time. I consider my classmates (in your case, coworkers) and siblings/cousins as friends and time spent at school/family time as socializing, because I enjoy it. I don't really enjoy "hanging out" or parties or going to bars/sporting events outside of school and family stuff. If people think it's sad, whatever, because I'm not.
