I'm pretty lucky when it comes to my work life. I get to spend a majority of my day alone, with my silent customers, listening to my IPod while working.To say the least, my job does NOT require me to be a social person at all.
Don't get me wrong. When I'm at work, I do my best to be friendly to everyone I meet. There are a few there that I avoid spending time with at all costs, but overall I enjoy my co-workers. Hell, I've even been known to stand outside in the parking lot for an hour after work, smoking and chatting with some of them.
But all of that changes once I get home. I turn into a hermit. I'm off in my own little world, doing my own little things and I don't want to see or talk to anyone.
I have friends and co-workers that know where I live. Once in awhile they will stop by to say hello. I always welcome them and do my best to make the visit a positive interaction.
But it's strange having other people in my house. I've grown increasingly uncomfortable with people in my house.
I wonder now and then if I should talk to somebody about that or if it's natural.

My 2 cents:
Home is your retreat. Home is yours. Home is also about hospitality. In my view, you have to be a very good friend to get inside my house. I'm not ashamed of anything, but it's my world, and I don't reveal that part of myself to many. So I don't think your choice is good or bad. It is your choice.
Some people let too many people in their home because they want to feel they are loved. But there is no true relationship with these folks. Those social types who always have to have a party or be at a party can be very lonely people with bad boundaries.
Happy New Year!
