People piss and moan about being lonely, but I love it. I am most happy when I am by myself, but if I try to explain this to anyone, they refuse to believe me. Why is being an introvert so looked down on?

Being an introvert can be seen as a negative thing because our culture often values extroversion, socialising and being outgoing. Being an introvert doesn't mean you are antisocial, it just means that you get your energy from within and you might not need as much stimulation from external sources as others. It's important to remember that being an introvert has its benefits too, such as having more time to reflect and gain greater depth of understanding when interacting with people. It's OK to feel the way you do-it's nothing to be ashamed of, and there's nothing wrong with embracing your own inner zen.
