Stressed, Exhausted About Human Relationships. Always Want Be Alone. What Is Your Opinion?

Do you think that some people simply aren t wired for human relationships? I was always a loner as a child and I used to think it was related to my upbringing, but now at 49 years of age, I think it is just the way I am designed to be by nature. I have suffered from depression for most of my life and more recently, chronic fatigue syndrome. I am beginning to see that much of the reason is that all human relationships- partner, family, friends, work, casual aquanintences etc- make me feel stressed and exhausted. I am relieved I never had children, have no contact with siblings (that s good!), no friends and currently spend most of my time alone isolated up a mountain 30 miles from town (don t drive either!) so only see my partner when he is off shift every 4 days. I consider it likely taht when I have to work again, I will have to leave him because seeing people every day will be exhausting and I will just want to be completely alone after work has finished. I am finding I don t want anyone to care for me or love me and I certainly have no need for sex, cuddles or conversation. Actually, I would be happy to die with nobody knowing or to come to my funeral! I consider my depression a result of living in a world where being a loner is considered abnormal and labelled as dysfunctional! What is your opinion?
