It's better than having roommates and always being known as 'the quiet one'. I realize that I'm a highly sensitive person, so I don't find much joy or use in a lot of the superficial outings and conversations people often engage in. The type of person that seeks out deep and meaningful connections feels pretty rare, so in that way it's better to live alone than to be an outcast among others.
I think I would enjoy living with a romantic partner, but women don't seem to have much interest in me, so I have to settle for making the best of the single life.

@TinyViolins I feel you, as for me it irritates me the most when I am questioned why I am being so quiet in a group full of loud people, specially at work. I am not as quiet though with the right company. Truly agree with you it is better to be alone than being in a group but feeling out of place.
