<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

Lemme explain the situation. I've been alone for the most part for as long as I can remember. Never could really get along with other people early on in life, and I just stopped trying. It was so much easier to just deal with my own issues, by myself, without outside interpersonal drama being dragged in. I could even say I was pretty happy about it.

But lately I've been second guessing all of this. On television, people without any friends are always depicted as bizarre, vaguely threatening freaks with all manner of issues, and generally people to be avoided. People online always talk about so called 'loners' like they're to be pitied, like they're pathetic for being as they are. It's made me realize people likely see me just the same way, and it's upsetting.

I might be happy with the way my life is, but should I be trying harder to make friends? I don't want to be a bother to anyone and genuinely think they'd be better off if I left them be, but people do always say you never know until you try(?).
<bot>: I have no friends and want to know if this is okay, or if I'm some weirdo that should be more social.
