The better question is, why do people here prefer to be alone when the humans nature is being social?

There can be many reasons. Being alone is easy and comfortable. You can do whatever you want without the need of taking others into consideration. It's also because it's difficult to find people that are pleasant to be around with. Most people I don't feel any sort of connection with. We have nothing in common, and nothing to talk about in detail apart from the regular stuff, such as the weather or news topics, and I don't care for small talk. So, why bother with being around with people when being alone provides a more enjoyable experience?

I'm not very social, and can easily entertain myself without the need of other people. I do have a few good friends I regularly talk and do stuff with, so it's not like I'm a complete social shut-in anyway.

Wow, this is so fucking true. I remember when I had a truckload of friends, multiple cliques to hang around, but none of them actually shared interests with me, to be honest I have still no clue til date why I even hang out with them.

I don't know if this applies to you too, but sometimes I feel like doing nothing. Video games bore me and I can't be arsed to call a friend. It's like the ultimate boredom and you are willing to do nothing. Sounds weird I guess...

I usually feel I'm doing nothing when I mindlessly browse MAL, lol. I suppose that's my way of doing nothing. If doing nothing means staring at the ceiling in bed, then not so much.

Nope. I'm practically silent during class, and sometimes I don't say anything around my few friends, though that also has to do with the fact that one of them prefers to talk to another and those two are fujoshi and BTS fans, both of which I'm not. They also have other people to hang out with and talk to those other people a lot too. While I don't mind being left alone and can just sit and have my lunch. I am fine if one of my friends wants to talk to me, just that I don't say much sometimes. I guess they understand that I don't like to get into those big groups and stuff. Around some classmates, I do crack a joke or say a thing or two, but other times I keep to myself and try to pay attention. I guess I'm also afraid of saying the wrong thing to people and hurting their feelings or causing misunderstandings. I'm sensitive as well. And I'm also trying not to be intrusive, so I don't indulge very much in gossip.

I try to go out with people every single day, and feel like I'm wasting time if I don't. It's easy to do so when you live in a dormitory in Tokyo. Too much to do here, and not enough money.

^secretly bipolar.

I'm a solid introvert with extroverted tendencies. I love talking to and meeting new people and often come across as very sociable. But too much talking to people drains me and so I often go off somewhere to be alone for a while. I like being alone more than I like people lol.

Not very. I can converse if I feel the need, but nearly all conversations I've been involved in have been initiated by someone else. In fact, I only find myself even trying to initiate conversations in online settings. That and I don't hang out with what few friends I have too often either.

I strongly prefer being left alone, but I'll occasionally hang out with a friend irl. However, I have online friends I'd consider closer friends more than the ones I have in person/locally, since I've either known them longer and/or have more in common with them.

I'm very introverted, don't like people in general, and avoid communication with strangers when possible. In fact, I go through periods of not talking to any of my friends from time to time.

I like to have fun :D so I often go to parties and such which naturally, have lots of people. Some of them I like and some of them I can't stand the sight of, but for me that's the fun of "socializing". Lots of people assume being an anime/manga fan (or superfan in my case <3) means I "must be" asocial or shy or nerdy , etc. So they're often very surprised to find out that I am a fan of anime and manga.
And then there are days when I just want to turn off my phone, get rid of people, curl up in bed with potato chips and a really good anime on ^^

I dislike starting conversations, but I often become close with others if they speak to me first. I can talk for hours if the mood is right.

Ironically, it's the opposite for me in MAL. I like starting talks with new people, but I'm terrible at replying and keeping up.

Mostly I'm pretty close to being a shut-in these days. I work from home. I get my groceries delivered through Instacart and everything else through Amazon. I go outside occasionally to grab some fast food or check the mailbox and I have one friend who's house I'll go to maybe once every couple of months and chat with for a few hours. My 'socializing' most often involves just texting though.

In the work, I used to talk to colleagues. I don't know if can be considered, but I think I can socialize in the work. Besides this, I can handle with 3/4 persons in a group, but more than that, nops. In general, not very social. But I can handle very well in one-to-one.

Im very- very antisocial. People try to be friends with me but I usually just avoid it. I want to make friends but when I get the chance I just get so nervous that I freak out and start avoiding them.

Even in school I didn't know how to make friends. I would (and still can) talk to people and have really good conversations but it never went past that.

I should probably talk to a therapist XD

I'm very introverted, but also very social. ôo Behaving in social situations and doing the right things just comes very natural to me and I love being around people. I just need longer breaks from them too ... and I love to read people. ^^" Like sitting there in the train and analyse how two people interact with each other and reading all the small things they do in their interaction. *just researching as scientist and hobby-author :X*

I'm really extroverted. I love being with my friends/acquaintances and I love meeting new people. I like parties and hanging out in large groups, and I don't feel awkward making conversation with strangers.

I like some alone time, because who doesn't, but for me being with others is always a better option than staying in.

Honestly I just love listening to people because people are interesting.

I'm social when I need to be. I think I can do fine as the quiet leader especially if it concerns schoolwork. I have friends but if I also have a tendency to shut myself away from everybody (except my best friend) once vacation starts, even from Facebook or Twitter.

But sometimes good anime, especially high school ones make me wish I hung out with my friends more.

"Anti-social behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists."
- Nikola Tesla

I highly recommend the book "Awareness" written by Anthony de Mello. It explains a lot.

Personally i have tendency to idealize people what results in many collisions with reality i open myself with an illusion of being understood and end up disappointed. i cannot bring myself to start a proper dialogue with those who kept being ignorant to things important to me which is why i feel good in my own company. i usually want to back my words or delete my statements in case of fear of being misunderstood. yah i am super antisocial.
