Is it normal to want to be alone? Please comment 😭

Question

Every lunch time I sit by myself. My teacher tries and pushes me to sit with others although all I want to do is sit on my own, I'm happy by myself sat in the classroom. But she appears worried/concerned & i am not really to sure why.. any ideas?

Also, I'm bipolar incase this plays a role in your thinking.

Answer

Definitely normal. I've been with my partner 4 years this year and although we love spending time together, we also LOVE alone time. He's off to Italy on his own for a week next week and he's really looking forward to it. I work full time and I love spending my lunch break on my own. There's nothing wrong with it

Answer

She's just worried that you aren't making friends. My school councilor told me that if I don't sit with a lot of kids or do sports or extra curricular activities, I'm going to become an introvert (I'm clearly already one). She told me that it was bad to be an introvert and that I need to surround myself with other people.
Well let me tell you something. She is a awful councilor and she is wrong. Sometimes being alone is the best way to be. Don't let anyone tell you that you are weird or something is wrong because you like to spend time alone. You are perfect the way you are and you dont have to worry about what other people say.

Answer

As long as you are happy doing things alone, there's nothing wrong with it!

Answer

It's normal for me. Though I like sitting with my friends at lunch, I can also appreciate going shopping and to restaurants by myself. People look at me weird sometimes but I just like spending time with myself lol.
