Is it normal to be happier alone?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s normal to feel happier on your own. Some people genuinely recharge and feel most like themselves when they have plenty of solo time.
Being alone can mean less social pressure, more control over your time, and room to do what you enjoy. You don’t have to be lonely just because you like your own company, and there’s no required number of friends or plans you need to have.
The useful distinction is whether being alone feels satisfying or whether you’re withdrawing even though you wish you could connect. If it’s the first, you’re probably just someone who thrives with more solitude; if it’s the second and it’s bothering you, it may be worth looking at what’s making connection feel hard.
