Friends...?

I'm a rather complicated person, really. Sometimes I want to have close friends, sometimes I cherish being alone. I mean, really, which do you prefer, having friends that might hurt you or being alone in your own world without any interference? Sure, life should be filled with spices, but I find that I will do much better staying on level ground than having ups and downs. Human relationships are so confusing and complicated. Maybe I'm just a selfish egoist, but I see no reason to stick together every second, even to the toilet. I prefer my own freedom, thank you.
