Am I A Loner, Are You A Loner?

I wonder if you could help me? I have been thinking recently wondering whether I am a loner. I strongly believe that I am but would like to hear what you think. Here is my story, I have kept it fairly brief to save boring you.
My parents have told me that I was a fairly shy boy from birth. I have no idea as to why this was, perhaps it is just something in my genes. At the age of four I developed a speech impediment, known as a stutter. This speech impediment was to frustrate and basically ruin my life for the next eighteen years before I finally managed to achieve fluency at the age of twenty-two. As you may well imagine my overall confidence and self-esteem were to take quite a hammering due to this stuttering problem.
As I entered into my teenage years I became acutely aware of people laughing behind my back and I was often bullied at school, more in a mental rather than physical manner. I soon discovered that I actually preferred spending time alone, this was where I was safe, this was where I was happy, this was where I was at peace. I also never ever stuttered when I was talking to myself, on my own.
Even though I loved being on my own, in my own space, I realised that this was perhaps "not normal". I wanted to be accepted into society, I wanted to be liked, I wanted my family to be proud of me. Living life as a loner would be good in one respect but would make people think that I was a bit weird.
I decided to virtually force myself to integrate, I went out with friends and family even though I did not want to go. People were not seeing the real Steve Hill, the person who just wants to be left alone.
I successfully managed to overcome stuttering when I was aged twenty-two. My life suddenly changed for the better, it was so much easier now that I could speak fluently. I now wanted to socialise and to meet new people.
Even now, after being free from stuttering for thirteen years I do still love to spend time alone, in a way I have got the choice, I now enjoy meeting people but also like to be on my own. So would you say that I am a loner? I think that I was at one stage but that perhaps I am not anymore.
