I am actually quite content on my own. I do have the desire to make friends which is one of the reasons I joined a book club in my community and I do have friends that I am close to but I don't get depressed or upset if I am alone. I can find quite a lot of contentment when I am alone.
A few years ago my dad's psychiatrist told him that it was actually really healthy that I was content being alone. There are a lot of people (my dad is one of them) who can't be alone. Like, immediately after him and my mom got divorced he was seeking out relationships. He doesn't like going on business trips for his job because he will be alone in the hotel room.
I think that if you have a healthy balance between being alone and surrounding yourself with people it is better than being on the extremes such as constantly isolating and having to constantly be around people.
