Personally, I believe as well that the greatest enemy you will ever face in your life is yourself...because that person will also turn out to be your closest friend later in life. I resonate with the opening post rather well, although I never had this much disregard for my own well-being...perhaps since I wanted to make those choices unlike others, and that I was very satisfied doing so, I never felt this way.
Thankfully though, my intuition was right about my classmates as adolescents growing up. People got the impression back then that I'm a very shy person, but in reality, I didn't want to talk to anyone. While I still have a liking towards solitude, back then, I was also likely too attached to it, and I missed out on many things growing up in high school. Unfortunately however, even I wasn't attached to solitude, it still couldn't be helped. I could only see my classmates while in school only, so any experiences I could have had the opportunity to share were missed. Regardless, it hasn't held me back personally, so there's a part of me currently that hopes to establish more interpersonal experiences with others, and prolong those relationships for years to come.
As much as I want to be alone most of the time, at this point, none of us can anymore. Nobody lives life alone in our digitized world, and we may need each other in dire circumstances in the physical world as well. It's cruel and harsh reality to live in for sure.
