I am blessed. My father was incredibly social and my mother incredibly solitary.
I can do both just fine.
I can be alone for days at a time literally not speaking to a living soul
And i can also be the life of a 5,000 person party

I had a doctor that thought I had it, but I can't remember the name of it.

I actually have zero problems being alone without external interaction with other people. Weird, I have been told many times by females I dated, but I think I "learned" it growing up in my house.

As a side note, I HATE crowds and dislike large social gatherings, but I have been told here on this forum that is perfectly normal.

You are the exception to the rule. What I was talking about was being completely alone for extended period of time not weeks but months on end.

This thread reminds me of the movie Defiance, based on a true story about the Bielski brothers - they went thru just the same issues being discussed here... survival, pecking order, skill sets, etc. A great movie IMO

Defiance will probably get you into the

"lookin' forward to it" mindset.

But for a dose of reality, watch

The Book of Eli , The Road, or THREADS...

I can not imagine trusting someone that was not family enough to invite them in to live with me. I've heard that axe murders look just like the guy next door.

I on the other hand am NOT a social person (I have been called a lone wolf more than once). This forum is mostly the extent of my socialness. I don't do parties, I don't do clubs, and I feel right at home in an empty forest.
