Wow, this thread has made me realize that I don't actually have any friends (I'm 20 btw). I just have acquaintances, and I realize that I actually like being alone as long as I entertain myself. Anyone else like me out there?
I love being alone, but I don't like being lonely. That is to say, life would probably be much better if I had friends I could occassionally meet up with and more often stay in contact with without physically meeting.
