I like being alone a lot, though. Not all the time, just a significant portion of my time. It's not that I'm scared, anxious, depressed or a sociopathic asshole, I'm just passionate about a lot of things that don't involve other people. I agree with almost everything you said, except "give as much of yourself to others as you can". Change it to "give as much of yourself to others as you feel like" and I'll buy it.
