By itself, being an introvert is NOT a problem, however, being lonely IS!
Loneliness can kill. Extreme loneliness that is. Many people are now dying alone, there is a term for it in Japan, Kodokushi. It okay to be introvert. I am introvert and I think a group with introverts and extroverts bring certain balance. Can be boring in a group where everybody is so similar. It wonderful to have differences. Loneliness is different from solitude, where an Introvert needs to recharge it energy after being with people and the introvert feels more productive and energized in solitude doing activities, while loneliness is state of mind where you feel alone and not cared for. Different things, introversion and solitude are healthy for the mind and body, but loneliness, leads to depression, risk of dying younger.
Well, now I've got another thing going against me. At least my cats reduce that by a third.
I always have cats. If you live alone, pets are kind of a necessity.
@SKH78 Oh very much so. I've always had cats. They are great to have around especially when they get all cuddly and if they want to play.
