>>9341003Depends, being introverted is a pretty big must, if you're extroverted you'll find spending time by yourself taxing. Assuming you are introverted, as paradoxical as it sounds, step one is to not be lonely. I have a good group of friends and a housemate who's alright. Everything is a case of checks and balances. If you already feel isolated and lonely then of course you're not going to enjoy being alone more. If you socialize too much then you'll get tired of it. I'm perfectly content with my social life and I have my fathers *extremely* introverted genes so I pretty much relish any opportunity to be by myself. My housemate was off work for a couple weeks over Christmas which meant I didn't get my designated days to myself, and he finally went back today. That's why I was relieved.
Anyway, the reasoning of checks and balances applies to a lot of aspects of life, not just whether or not you feel lonely. It can extend to sex and romantic relationships, basic necessities like food/water/shelter, desire for security vs desire for change, etc etc etc. Not enough of a good thing is bad. Too much of a good thing is also bad. The less you have of something you desire the more you want it. The more you have of something you desire the less you want it. There is such a thing as too much socializing, in the same respect that there is such a thing as too much good food, too much sex, too much comfort. Different people have different levels for an ideal balance.
