Is it normal to be a loner?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s normal to prefer your own company and have a small social circle. It’s only worth a closer look if being alone feels lonely or keeps you from the connections you want.
Some people recharge by themselves, enjoy solo hobbies, or simply don’t need a big circle of friends. There’s no required number of people you have to hang out with to count as normal.
The useful distinction is whether being alone feels good to you. If you’re content with your amount of social contact, you’re probably just more solitary; if you feel isolated or wish you could connect but can’t, that’s a different thing—and you deserve support, not a label.
