I can attend that we don't. I'm a loner and I've never in any significant way felt the pull to socialization. I CAN and have, and been perfectly normal about it and even enjoy it, but I've also lived completely alone for years with no family or friends, and I'm more than happy.

From my own observations, it seems as if a minority of the human populace are just naturally like this. It appears as if, say, some 10% of the population really just aren't born with a built-in drive to interact with others. Every human being's brain is naturally wired with social aspects, but these other people never get lonely. Personally I've never once felt lonely in my life, and I don't even understand what it's supposed to feel like.

To be clear, I'm sure MOST of the, "10%", still DO have loved ones. But I'm saying they do not NEED them to be psychologically okay, and wouldn't suffer negatively if left alone for a prolonged time. There are stories about people who've been stranded on an island for decades, only to come back and be perfectly sound, mentally.

If you are NOT one of that made-up figure of 10% of people who naturally thrive in seclusion, then yeah I imagine prolonged isolation will lead to detrimental effects. We use solitary confinement as a punishment, after all, and I'm sure we wouldn't if it didn't work, but a lack of human contact doesn't detriment everybody.

Funny because it's the exact opposite of me, I go insane after spending too much time with other people and am perfectly fine with doing everything alone. Probably why I wouldn't want to get a girlfriend or get married, the thought of having to share my life scares me. If you realise something like this there is no reason to get rid of love, I'm hardwired to reject it anyway.
