Hmm... I'm an only child too. Maybe that has something to do with it. I've always maintained that my desire (need!) for time to myself is a direct result of being an only child that had to entertain herself. You definitely learn to be at ease in your own company when you're by yourself most of the time.
As for relationships - I've never understood the pursuit of a partner for the sake of being part of a couple; to not be alone. I'm not wired that way at all, and if (as many I see are) a relationship contains drama and grief I don't want to work it out I want OUT period. Life is too short.
As anti-social as the above may sound I LOVE people and can connect with people of all ages and backgrounds usually quite easily. I'm an odd mix in many ways - as with this topic. I'm a paradoxical mix of loner and people person at the same time.
