CMV: I'm fine living without friends

This was mostly on by a recent disagreement with my parents. They had wanted me to invite friends to a party and were mildly upset when I told them that I didn't have any. It has become a sore point for them as it was a loss of face to them. 


The fact of the matter it's been almost 10 years now since I had a friends. But doesn't seem to have been detrimental, in truth it's been perfectly comfortable for me. And it has conferred some side benefits: 


* I've been able to focus on my work without distraction of trying to juggle professional and personal lives. 


* It affords a personal mobility since being alone in a new city doesn't bother me. 

* Few if any will be bothered on an emotional level by a sudden absence. 


* While there are benefits of having friends, I do not feel as if the advantages are significant enough for me to pursue.


While this is atypical for most people, I do not see any particularly compelling reason to change this at any point in my life. In fact I see reason not to have friends, as then they would have to deal with my parasitical presence in their life. 


Edit: It's been mentioned that having friends is beneficial to one's own health. To be clear,  I do not prioritize my health.

Nobody can disprove this because we can't read your mind.

That said, you sound to me like you're in denial, why even post here if you didn't harbor some doubts about this? There's no reason you shouldn't know the answer to this if you really believe you're happy. And there's no way any of can answer it for you.
