Can isolation be an addiction?

0

I am an introvert, always been and I kind of enjoy it. I recently moved to another continent and I have this habit of being on my own room for hours and hours, researching, facebook-ing, producing music and art in general. I like going out meeting people having fun with them but I enjoy more being on my own. Sometimes when I am out, I miss being “home”, I miss being alone.
I think its becoming a problem now because it kind of interferes with my relationship side. I lost my “sexual” energy, I can’t find anyone attractive anymore, I can’t communicate that much either. And the more I stay in the less I understand about this new country I am in, people are different, and with the new language I am finding hard to fit in. So I prefer to be alone instead when I understand myself better, Is this an addiction?

Perhaps it is not as drastic as addiction, but moreso a habbit. That being said, it takes 21 days to make a habbit, and it takes 21 days to break a habbit. I believe a person can develop an addiction to anything, But before the addiction there is habbit I believe that your stuck in a rut.....found your comfort zone...you really should step out of your comfort zone and suprize yourself.....if you spend the next three weeks out of that zone you'll gaina life and lose a habbit.....go on, give it a shot....I dare you :)

I don't because I don't find it interesting at all anymore. This has been going on for months and I still can't get myself into a new relationship or even nightstands. There is no romance or friends with benefits kind of thing anymore.

do you masturbate daily? lack of a sexual drive may be attributed to that check out /r/nofap also I totally agree with isolation being an addiction I'm an extrovert and always have been but I find being alone much more enticing, for instance if i'm going to a party I'd prefer to do it alone and meet new people there rather than go with a group of friends that will tie me down
